A

kite method

20
Q

deviation for plantar flexion and inversion of the calcaneus

A

equinus

21
Q

deviation of medial displacement of the forefoot

A

adduction

22
Q

deviation of elevation of the medial border of the foot

A

supination

23
Q

Demonstrate the degree of adduction of the forefoot and the degree of inversion of the calcaneus

A

AP projection

24
Q

the kite method ________ demonstrates the anterior talar subluxation and the degree of plantar flexion

A

lateral

25
Q

shows an axial projection of the calcaneus

A

axial projection - plantodorsal

26
Q

shows an axial projection of the calcaneus and the subtalar joint

A

axial projection dorsoplantar

27
Q

demonstrate calcaneotalar coalition also known as coalition position

A

weight bearing coalition method

28
Q

Shows a true lateral projection of the lower third of the tibia and fibula, the ankle joint, and the tarsals

A

lateral projection mediolateral

29
Q

Shows a lateral projection of the lower third of the tibia and fibula, the ankle joint, and the tarsals.

A

lateral projection lateromedial

30
Q

___________ rotation oblique projection is useful in
determining fractures and demonstrating the superior aspect of the calcaneus.

A

lateral

31
Q

are usually obtained following inversion or eversion injury to verify the presence of ligamentous tear are usually obtained following inversion or eversion injury to verify the presence of ligamentous tear

A

AP stress study

32
Q

_________ of a ligament is demonstrated by widening of the joint space on the side of the injury, when without moving or rotating the lower leg from supine position, the foot is forcibly turned towards the opposite side.

A

rupture

33
Q

The entire ankle mortise joint should be demonstrated in profile.

The three sides of the mortise joint should be visualized.

A

mortise joint - ap oblique medial rotation

34
Q

The resulting image shows the tibia, fibula, and adjacent joints

A

lateral projection mediolateral

35
Q

_________, ________ and Siber recommended that a bilateral weight-bearing AP projection be routinely included in radiographic examination of arthritic knees because it reveals narrowing of the knee joint spaces that appears normal in the non-weight bearing study.

A

Leach, Gregg and Siber

36
Q

is useful for evaluating
joint space narrowing and demonstrating articular cartilage disease.

The image is similar when radiographing the intercondyloid fossa.

A

PA weight bearing method

37
Q

Shows the intercondyloid fossa of the femur and the medial and lateral intercondylar tubercle of the intercondylar eminence in profile.

It also states that the degree of flexion used widens the joint space between the femur and the tibia and gives improved image of the joint and surfaces of the tibia and femur.

A

PA axial projection - Holmblad methodd

38
Q

Demonstrate an unobstructed projection of the intercondyloid fossa and the medial and lateral intercondylar tubercle of the intercondylar eminence.

A

PA axial camp coventry

39
Q

shows the intercondylar fossa, intercondylar eminence and knee joint

A

AP axial - Beclere Method

40
Q

__ projection of the patella provides sharper recorded detail than in the AP projection because of the closer object-to-image receptor distance

A

PA

41
Q

shows subluxation of the patella and patella fractures and allows radiographic assessment of the femoral condyles

A

tangential hughston method

42
Q

Because of the danger of fragment displacement by acute flexion of the knee required for this procedure, this projection should not be attempted until a transverse fracture of the patella has been ruled out with lateral image or if the patient is in pain

A

tangential projection - Settegast Method

43
Q

Shows vertical fracture of the bone and the articulating surfaces of the patellofemoral articulations

A

Settegast Method
