• Critique AP Lower Leg (Correct/Incorrect?):

  Incorrect

  The proximal and distal fibula are minimally superimposed on tibia therefore the leg was medially (internally) rotated.

  
• Critique Lateral Lower Leg (correct/incorrect?):

  • Incorrect
  • The distal fibula is too far posterior on the tibia, and the fibular head is free of superimposition, therefore the leg was externally rotated. 

  
• Critique AP Knee(correct/incorrect?):

  • Incorrect
  • The femoral epicondyles are not in profile and the head of the fibula has very slight superimposition on tibia. The fibula should be slightly more superimposed. Therefore, the leg is slightly internally rotated. 

  
• Critique Medial Oblique Knee(correct/incorrect?):

  • Incorrect
  • The head of the fibula is superimposed by tibia. There should be no superimposition, The leg is not internally rotated enough, it is rotated less than 45 degrees. 

  
• Critique Lateral Oblique Knee(correct/incorrect?):

  • Incorrect
  • The fibular head and neck and shaft are not superimposed by tibia. The knee is rotated less than 45 degrees, not externally rotated enough.

  
• Critique Lateral Knee(correct/incorrect?):

  • Incorrect
  • Knee is internally rotated as seen by the adductor tubercle seen posteriorly.

  
• Critique Lateral Knee:

  • Knee is externally rotated as seen by the adductor tubercle too far anterior.

  
• Critique Lateral Knee:

  • Knee is overflexed, patellofemoral space is closed

  
• Critique Lateral Knee:

  • Distal surfaces of femoral condyles are not superimposed. Med condyle distal. Needs a cephalic angle.

  
• Critique AP Distal Femur:

  • Not enough femur is showing.  Also internally rotated some as seen by head of fibula only slightly superimposed over tibia.

  
• Critique AP Proximal Femur:

  • Leg not internally rotated to get true AP as seen by lesser trochanter visible.

  
• Critique Lateral Distal Femur:

  • Leg is not lateral, it is internally rotated

  As seen by adductor tubercle on medial condyle seen posterior.

  
• Critique Lateral Proximal Femur:

  • Greater trochanter is seen medially next to the ischial tuberosity and LESSER TROCHANTER NOT seen in PROFILE.  Leg was rotated more externally than needed to.
