Femur X-Ray Positioning | Radiography with Mr. M

Your videos are very helpful on my lab comps. Thank you brother!

We've been taught (and all the clinical rotation sites) require the leg to be medially rotated 15-20º for the proximal femur; same for the hip and pelvis exams. Are your protocols different?

Hello, In cases of non trauma we instruct our students and techs to rotate the lower limb (leg) medially 15-20 degrees so that the malleoli are parallel to the IR and it opens up the mortise joint. I will be doing more videos soon and will include the leg, ankle & foot. Mr. M
