If a patient is in 80 degrees of flexion for the Coyle method, which structure is being examined?

Radial head
Coronoid process
Wrist joint
Shoulder joint

The correct answer is: Coronoid process

In the context of the Coyle method, when a patient is positioned in 80 degrees of flexion, the primary structure being examined is the coronoid process of the ulna. The Coyle method is specifically designed to visualize the elbow joint's anterior structures, particularly the coronoid process, in a projection that provides a clear view while the elbow is flexed. This technique allows radiologists to assess any potential fracture or changes in the coronoid region by angling the X-ray beam appropriately. Understanding the positioning and projection is crucial for accurately interpreting the images and diagnosing any associated injuries or pathologies in that area. The specific flexion angle helps define the projection, making it essential to know the anatomy involved in such a view.
