- Discussion:
- complete knee series should include an anteroposterior, lateral, & axilla view as well as a tunnel view in skeletally immature pts;
- Specific Views:
- Axilla View
- Lateral Radiograph
- Tangential Patellar Views
- Tunnel Radiograph
- X-ray Features of OA
- X-ray Features of RA
- Anterior Posterior View:
- femoral/tibial angle
- medial and lateral joint space
- size, position, and integrity of patella;
- clinical findings:
- bipartite patella
- osteochondritis dissecans;
- calcification of origin of MCL (Pellegrini-Stieda Phenomenon);
- technique:
- pt is supine w/ knee fully extended & leg in neutral position;
- central beam is directed vertically to knee w/ 5-7 deg cephalic tilt
