"Wagging Jaw"? Ive never seen one done Sad

The wagging jaw is when lower jaw moves up and down without the top jaw

The breathing technique is also used to obtain a radiograph of the scapula in the AP projection Smile

Breathing technique is also used to get a trans-thoracic shot of the proximal femur if trauma prevents the patients from moving the shoulder. Cool

Methinks there is an error here somewhere ...

"Breathing technique is also used to get a trans-thoracic shot of the proximal femur if trauma prevents the patients from moving the shoulder."

Anyone else think so?
