|
Positioning:
Pt. Supine with Leg Extended
No Pelvis Rotation
|
CR Entrance & Angle:
1/2'' inferior to patellar apex.
(ASIS to TT (<19cm 3°-5° caudad, 19-24cm-0° >24cm 3°-5° cephalad)
Collimation:
leave at 12''
Respiration:
|
Anatomy to IR:
|| Femoral Condyles
Eval Criteria:
Open femerotibial joint with equal interspace on both sides if normal
Slight SI fibular head on tibia
Knee fully extended permitting
SI of complete patella on femur
NR semmetric femoral condyles and intercondylar eminence of tibia centered
|

Lateral (ML)
IR Size: 10x12 Tbl Bky
SID: 40''
Page #'s: 1:300,106
|
Positioning:
Pt lateral position on affected
Knee flexed 20°-30° (for max open joint) (Fx suspected no more than 10°)
(leg in front of affected)
|
CR Entrance & Angle:
1'' distal to medial epicondyle
5°-7° cephalad
Collimation:
leave 10x12
Respiration:
|
Anatomy to IR:
_|_ Patella & Epicondyles
Eval Criteria:
SI of femoral condyles (adductor tubercle on posterior surface of medial condyle used to determin over/under rotation)
Slight SI fibular head on tibia (overrotation less SI, under more SI)
Open knee joint and patellofemoral joint spaces with patella in lateral profile
Knee flexed 20-30°
