RADIOLOGY REPORT: INJURY OF LEFT WRIST, ELBOW, AND HUMERUS General Hospital 1511 Ninth AvenueSun City, USA 12345(555) 802-1887 RADIOLOGY REPORT Date Physician: Adn Jones, MID Examination: Left wrist, left elbow, and left humerus June 5, 20xx Patient: Hill, Joan DOB 5/25/19xx 43201 X-ray No: LEFT WRIST: Images obtained with the patient's arm taped to an arm board. There are fractures through the distal shafts of the radius and ulna. The radial fracture fragments show approximately 8-mm overlap with dorsal displacement of the distal radial fracture fragment. The distal ulnar shaft fracture shows ventral-lateral angulation at the fracture apex. There is no overriding at this fracture. No additional fracture is seen. Soft-tissue deformity is present, correlating with the fracture sites. LEFT ELBOW AND LEFT HUMERUS: Single view of the left elbow was obtained in the lateral projection. AP view of the humerus was obtained to include a portion of the elbow. A third radiograph was obtained but is not currently available for review. There is lucency through the distal humerus on the AP view along its medial aspect. It would be difficult to exclude fracture just above the medial epicondyle. On the lateral view, there is elevation of the anterior and posterior fat pad. These findings are of some concern. Repeat elbow study is recommended. ason Skinner, MD JS: bg D: 6-05-20x T: 6-05-20xx Analysis
