medial condyle

33
Q

CR for AP knee

A

CR paralell to joint space

34
Q

in an ap knee, if there is internal rotation, what appears larger

A

lateral condyle appears larger because it is farther from the IR

35
Q

how many degrees should the knee be flexed for a lateral knee

A

20-30 degrees

36
Q

what is superimposed in the lateral knee

A

medial and lateral femoral condyles (this will keep the knee joints space open)

37
Q

what joint space is open in lateral knee

A

knee joint

38
Q

what is the CR for lateral knee

A

5-7 degree cephalic

39
Q

what do you do to keep the femoral condyles superimposed

A

add a 5-7 degree angle

40
Q
A
41
Q

this condyle is very smooth

A

lateral condyle

42
Q

which condyle has the bony tubercle

A

medial condyle

43
Q

what is the bony tubercle called that is on the medial condyle

A

adductor tubercle

44
Q

where is the adductor tubercle located on the medial condyle?

A

located posteriorly and superiorly to the medial condyle

45
Q

which condyle sits lower than the other

A

medial condyle sits lower than the lateral condyle

46
Q

determining lateral and medial condyle:
if the cephalic angulation is needed how is the medial condyle

A

medial condyle is distal

47
Q

if the medial condyle is distal, how is the angulation

A

cephalic angulation is needed

Q

if the medial condyle is proximal , how is the angle
