RADT Lower Limb Fill In The Blanks

      Help!   
In each blank, try to type in the word that is missing. If you've typed in the correct word, the blank will turn green.

If your not sure what answer should be entered, press the space bar and the next missing letter will be displayed.

When you are all done, you should look back over all your answers and review the ones in red. These ones in red are the ones which you needed help on.

Question: What is the position of part for the Knee ?Answer: A flexion of 20-30 is usually preferred bc this position relaxes the muscles & shows the max. volume of the joint cavity. To fragment separation in new or unhealed patellar fractures, the knee should not be flexed more than 10.
Question: What is the Central Ray for the Knee ?Answer: Directed to the knee joint 1in distal to the medial epicondyles at an of 5-7 cephalad.
Question: What is the Ray for the PA Knee?Answer: Directed at an angle of 5-7 caudad to exit a point 1/2 inferior to the patellar apex. B/C the tib/fib are slightly inclined, the CR will be w/the tibial plateau
Question: What is the position of part for the AP Leg?Answer: Rotate the limb 45 degress medially or laterally. For the medial ensure that the leg is turned inward and not just the foot.
Question: What is the of part for the Lateral Leg?Answer: Adjust rotation of the body to place the patella perpendicular to IR and ensure that a line drawn thru the femoral condyles are perpendicular. ALT: When pt be turned from supine position, the lateral projection may be taken cross-table.
Question: What is the position of part for the AP Oblique?Answer: Place plantar of foot in vertical position & laterally rotate leg and foot 45 degrees.
Question: What is the position of part for the Ankle Mortise Joint (AP )?Answer: Grasp diatal femur area w/one hand and foot w/the . Assist pt by internally rotating the entire leg and foot together 15-20 degrees until the intermalleolar plane is parallel w/IR.
