| What X-Ray positions the knee flexed 70° from full extension? | PA Axial Intercondylar Fossa (Holmblad) |
| Where should the CR be placed for a PA Axial Intercondylar Fossa (Holmblad) X-Ray? | The superior aspect of the popliteal fossa |
| The CR Enters the knee joint ½ inch below the patellar apex when performing a _______ X-Ray | Béclère |
| AP Femur (Proximal) Patient Position | • Medially rotate the lower limbs 15- 20° • Place the top of the IR at the level of the ASIS Includes Hip |
| AP Femur (Distal) Patient Position | • Ensure the femoral epicondyles are parallel to the IR • Place the bottom of the IR 2 inches below the knee Includes Knee |
| Proximal Lateral Femur Patient Position | Pelvis is rotated posteriorly 10 to 15° from the lateral position. Place the top of the IR at the level of the ASIS |
| There is a _______ difference of elevation between the condyles of the distal femur | 5-7° |
