Ensure that the entire leg does not • is rotated. The intermalleolar line must not be parallel to the RI (see Note 2). • ► RC: • • RC perpendicular to the RI, directed to a point midway between the malleolus. • ------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- • ► PROFILE: • ► Patient Positioning: • In supine position; with a pillow under the head; limbs must be fully extended • (A small cushion or other support under the knees increases patient comfort). • ► Position of the Party: • • Center and align the ankle joint in relation to the RC and the long axis of the portion of the RI that • will be exposed. • • When the patient's condition allows, dorsiflex the foot, if necessary, so that the • plantar surface is at least 80° to 85° in relation to the RI (10° to 15° of the vertical plane) (see • Observation). • • Rotate leg and foot medially 45°. • ► RC: • • RC perpendicular to the RI, directed to the midpoint between the malleolus. • ►DFOFI: 1 meter • ►RI: 24 × 30 cm (10 × 12 inches), longitudinal (AP and Profile) • ------------------------------------------------- -------------------------- • Source: Radiographic Positioning Treatise, Kenneth L.
