"bone looks very osteopoenic recommend dexa"
pathological could be due to osteoporosis or metastases
different managemnt if intra or extra
subuxation vs dislocation (incompletely vs completely)
anatomical neck >> surgical neck

"the Y view"
"orthogonal view" = 90 degrees
coracoid process is always anterior
head of the radius commonly fractured
medial epicondyle pops out
fluids around fat pads more likely for a fracture occuring
radius is more fatter here
scaphoid ten or 14 days later only can see fractures usually. cant miss coz avascular necrosis
scaphoid, capitate and hook of the hamate can get fractured quite commonly
blood is more dense effusion
makes sure nice smooth space between talus and tibia
"calcaneo-navicular collision"
sesmoid bones can be fractured too = little bones within tendons
