Modified Cleaves Method

300

What structures make up the ankle joint?

The tibia, fibula and the talus

300

Which bone in the lower leg is weight bearing?

The tibia

300

What happens when you flex the knee?

The patella becomes more pulled into the intercondylar sulcus

300

How do we ensure the hip joint is included on an AP and Lateral proximal femur?

The top of the IR should be at the level of the ASIS

300

What structures make up the ischium?

Ramus, body, ischial tuberosity, ischial spine, lesser sciatic notch

400

By looking a the end of the fibula; there will be less superimposition of the head of the fibula by the tibia

500

How do you know you have a true lateral projection of the proximal femur?

The greater trochanter is superimposed over the neck of the femur

500
