Wrist Simulation

The patient is positioned seated, with the indicated side resting against the radiographic table.

The simulation includes the following bones:

• Humerus
• Radius
• Ulna
• Carpal bones
• Metacarpals
• Phalanges

See also visualization of available anatomy.

Joint Mobility in simulation:

• Shoulder: Capable of internal and external rotation, as well as lateral and medial elevation (achieved using the radiographic table).
• Elbow: Can flex and extend.
• Forearm: Can pronate and supinate.
• Wrist: Allows flexion, extension, adduction, and abduction.

The wrist bones in the simulation include 3 variations:

1. A healthy bone version.
2. A pathological version featuring a Colles’ fracture.
3. A post-operative case featuring a volar locking plate.

Radiographic Tube Functionality: The radiographic tube has a full range of motion, including vertical (up/down), horizontal (side-to-side), tilt, and rotation. The cassette can also be rotated, and collimation size is adjustable.

Detector Methods: The detector setup uses "free plating", as the seated patient cannot be positioned for a bucky.

Simulated Exposures: The simulation is confirmed to be capable of supporting at least the following views: PA, lateral, and oblique wrist. Additional views may be possible, check the patient's range of motion and the available bones above.

Known limitations: No known limitations for this simulation as of version 1.4
