Well, two are the acromian process and the greater trochanter: both give sites for IM injections.

Subject: Clinical relevance HAPP-L] of bony landmarks [HAPP-L]

I hope someone on the list can help with a project I have taken on.  I am trying to put together a mini-lecture on the clinical relevance/use of the various bony landmarks I am making my students learn.  Most of my students are in nursing so I would be most interested in the use of landmarks for nursing related practices.  I don't have any problems finding the landmarks and telling the students how to find them, but since I am not a clinician I am having difficulty answering the "so what" questions.  Depending on the responses I get and the other sources I drag up, if anyone is interested I can share the information I gather.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

John
