Projections (A and C) show the articular surface of the medial femoral
projection can be performed in two different ways. The limb can be
flexed and abducted and the X‐ray beam directed parallel to the ground
with a 0° to 20° laterocranial obliquity (B); if the limb cannot be
abducted, an approximately 10° distal obliquity (L0‐20Cr10Di‐PrMO)
should be added to the X‐ray beam direction.
