Answer -
c
a. Spinolaminar line
b. iliopectineal line
c. radiolucent line
d. anterior humeral line
e. Gilula lines/ arc
Answer -
c
The spinolaminar line helps assessment of spinal injury while iliopectineal line does same for suspected Acetabulam fracture. ( below image line c is spinolaminar line)
Gilula arcs are smooth parallel lines demonstrating any carpal or intercarpal injury if disrupted.
Anterior humeral line is important landmark to assess initial fracture as well as post reduction assessment after fracture management in cases of pediatric supracondylar fracture of humerus.
Radiolucent lines (RLL) on the other hand are related to joint prosthesis assessment in the follow up after arthroplasty for assessment of loosening.
