What is 30–40 degrees?

100

This type of fracture occurs at the base of the 5th metatarsal and is notorious for poor healing due to limited blood supply

To best demonstrate the mortise of the ankle, the foot is rotated this many degrees medially.

What is 15–20 degrees?

200

This type of fracture occurs when a tendon or ligament pulls off a small piece of bone at its attachment site.

What is an avulsion fracture?

200

AP projection of the knee on a patient with an ASIS to tabletop distance of 24cm requires this degree and direction of angulation.

What is 0 degrees, perpendicular?

200

For an AP projection of the knee, the CR angle depends on this patient measurement.

What is the distance from ASIS to tabletop?

300

On which side of the foot does the cuboid lie?

What is lateral?

300

This projection only exists in NGHS protocol and therefore I will NOT perform it during SIM.

What is external oblique ankle?

300

Fracture of the distal fibula, often accompanied by avulsion of the medial malleolus, is known as this type of ankle injury.

What is a Pott fracture?

The area separating the medial and lateral femoral condyles posteriorly is the:

What is the intercondyloid fossa?

300

This projection demonstrates the patella in profile with the patient prone, the knee flexed 90°, and the CR angled 15°–20° cephalad.

What is 10° posterior (toward the heel) and direct CR to the base of the 3rd metatarsal? 

400

This overuse injury causes inflammation and pain at the tibial tuberosity, most common in active adolescents.

What is Osgood-Schlatter disease?

400

This method is used to demonstrate the patellofemoral joint space with the patient prone and the knee flexed 50°-60° from the table.

What is the AP oblique foot (medial rotation)?

500

A fracture of the tibia and fibula involving displacement and possible rotation of the foot, typically from twisting injury, is known as this.

What is a bimalleolar fracture?

500

This method demonstrates the intercondylar fossa with the patient kneeling 20–30° forward.

What is the Holmblad method?

500

To visualize the intercondylar fossa on the Camp-Coventry method, the knee is flexed this much, and the CR angled this many degrees and direction.
