This is the second longest bone in the body and is situated on the medial side of the leg; it is also a weight-bearing bone Avulsion fracture of the base of the fifth metatarsal For the lateral projection of the foot, dorsiflex the foot to form a _____ degree angle with the lower leg What does the lateral projection, weight-bearing method show It shows the structural status of the longitudinal arch limb is rotated externally 45-degrees; demonstrates the margin of the patella projected slightly beyond the edge of the lateral femoral condyle AP Oblique Projection (lateral rotation) of the Knee What does the weight-bearing AP Projection that is routinely included in the radiographic examination show Arthritic Knees, reveals narrowing of the joint space that appears normal on a non-weight-bearing study What does the Holmblad method show Shows the intercondylar fossa What is the flexion of the knee in the PA axial projection (Holmblad Method 70 degrees from full extension (20-degree difference from the central ray What projection should not be attempted until a transverse fracture of the patella has been ruled out Inferiosuperior flexion and Cr angle knee to see patella and patellofemoral joint CR 10-15 degrees and knees flexed 40-45 Settagast (sunrise) CR and flexion of knees CR 15-20 and knees flexed 90 Hughston method knee Cr and flexion Cr 15-20 and knee flexed 40 Rosenberg Method (pa Axial weight bearing knee bilateral) Knees flexed 45 degrees CR 30 Which positioning maneuver should be performed when positioning for the lateral projection of the foot?Regardless of the condition of the patient, which positioning maneuver should be performed to position the foot for the lateral projections? Ensure that the plantar surface is perpendicular to the IR.
Where should the distal fibula be seen in images of the lateral projection of the foot?Where should the distal fibula be seen in images of the lateral projection of the foot? The distal fibula should overlap the posterior portion of the tibia.
Which projection of the ankle would best demonstrate a Jones fracture?Which projection of the ankle would demonstrate a Jones fracture? A Jones fracture affects the proximal end, or tuberosity, of the 5th metatarsal. This anatomic structure should always be included on a lateral image of the ankle because the other ankle projections will demonstrate a fracture in this bone.
Which projection of the foot best demonstrates a fracture at the 5th metatarsal base?A correctly positioned AP 45° medial oblique ankle projection frequently may also demonstrate a fracture of the base of the fifth metatarsal if present.
