Chapter 6/7 Tib/Fib Distal Femur
Proximal Tibia • Medial/Lateral ______________ – Processes on outer margins • _______________ Eminence • Medial and Lateral intercondylar tubercles
Proximal Tibia • ________________ – Articular facets • Tibial_______________ – Proximal anterior protrusion • _____________ crest – Anterior ridge
Proximal Fibula • ____________ – Superior pointed portion of head • Head – Rounded aspect • ____________ – Tapered area inferior to head
Tib/Fib • 2 Joints • ___________tibiofibular • ___________tibiofibular
Tib / Fib Imaging Routine • AP • Lateral • 40” SID • 65 kV
AP Tib / Fib • Pt Supine • Place _____________in AP. • Ensure ____________is on IR • Center at mid tibia • Collimate to skin
Lateral Tib / Fib • Position for mediolateral projection • Flex ___________ • Place lateral aspect against IR • Ensure ____________is on IR • Center to mid leg • Collimate to skin
Distal FemurAnterior • ____________ Surface • (Intercondylar Sulcus) (Trochlear Groove) Smooth, Shallow depression. • Shaft – Body
Distal FemurPosterior • __________ Condyle • Rounded distal portion medial • ___________ Condyle – Rounded distal portion lateral • _________________ Fossa – Notch between condyles
Distal FemurPosterior • Lateral _____________ – Lateral distal projection • Medial ______________ – Medial distal projection • _____________ Tubercle –Off of posteriolateral aspect of medial condyle
Important Considerations • Femur is _____________ • Angle between __________ • Medial Condyle • More ___________ than lateral • Adductor Tubercle • Not seen on proper ______________
Distal Femur Imaging Routine • AP • Lateral • 40” SID • 70 – 75 kV
AP Distal Femur • Pt Supine • Rotate leg ____________or until interepicondylar line ________ with IR • Ensure ____________is imaged • Center to mid cassette • Collimate to skin
Lateral Distal Femur • Position for ____________ projection • Place lateral aspect against IR • May need to put ____________over affected or posterior to affected • Flex affected _____________ • Epicondyles _______________ to IR • Center to mid cassette
