This is the relation of the patella to the IR when doing a lateral Tib/Fib exam.
What is perpendicular to the plane of the IR?
100
The patella is best demonstrated in this projection.
What is the PA projection?
100
This is the projection that best demonstrates an open patellofemoral joint space.
What is the Settegast/Sunrise view of the patella?
100
The patella is best seen in profile in this view.
What is the Settegast/Sunrise view?
100
In AP or PA projection of the knee, the patella is ____________ on the femur.
What is superimposed?
200
This is the name for the lateral border of the patella.
What is the apex?
200
This is the name of the superior border of the patella.
What is the base?
200
A 5-7 degree caudad angle is used on what projections of the knee?
What is the AP & Lateral?
200
In the Holmblad method, if the patient's knee is flexed 50 degrees, how much should the CR be angled and in what direction?
What is 50 degrees caudad?
200
In this view, the CR is perpendicular to the center of the IR, through the center of the knee joint.
What is the Holmblad method?
300
In this view, the CR is angled 40-50 degrees caudad through the knee joint, depending on the angle of the knee.
What is the Camp-Coventry method?
300
This is the preferred angle of knee flexion for the Settegast method when the patient is prone.
What is 80 degrees?
300
The central ray for this projection is 0.5" distal to the apex of the patella.
What is an AP projection of the knee?
300
For this projection, the knee is flexed 20-30 degrees to open the patellarfemoral joint space.
What is the lateral knee projection?
300
This is the situation in which the lateral knee should be flexed no more than 10 degrees.
What is when a fracture of the knee is suspected?
400
This is when a cross-table lateral projection of the knee should be done.
What is when a fracture is suspected and the patient can't roll towards the affected side of the body for a lateral projection?
400
This is the CR for the AP weight bearing knees projection.
What is perpendicular to the knee joint?
400
Between the condyles on the posterior aspect of the leg is the __________ ______.
What is the intercondylar fossa?
400
The patella is the largest of this type of bone.
What is a sesamoid bone?
400
The knee is this type of joint.
What is a hinge joint?
500
It is not unusual for there to be an additional small sesamoid bone posterior to the knee. This normal variation is called a ____________.
What is a fabella?
500
This is the degree of angulation and direction of the CR for the Settegast/Sunrise projections of the knee.
What is 15-20 degrees cephalad?
500
This is where the CR enters for a lateral projection of the knee.
What is 1 inch distal to the medial epicondyle of the femur?
500
The distal articular surfaces of the condyles articulate with the ______ _________ to form the knee joint.
What is the tibial plateau?
500
In the Holmblad method, the knee is flexed so the angle between the femur and table is ______ degrees?
What is 70 degrees?
