Questions and Answers

Which of the following is the most reliable indicator of a weightbearing radiographic view?

  • The position of the metatarsals relative to the heel (correct)
  • The position of the calcaneus
  • The presence of the plantar soft tissues

Study Notes

WEIGHTBEARING VS NONWEIGHTBEARING

  • Lateral image determines if it's weightbearing or non-weightbearing
  • Weightbearing: heel and metatarsals are on the same plane
  • Non-weightbearing: metatarsals are plantarflexed in relation to the heel
  • Assume all images are weightbearing if not marked
  • Assume all images are non-weightbearing if not marked
  • Weightbearing often yields more information than non-weightbearing
  • Non-weightbearing films are usually only indicated for trauma

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

  • Start with "I am looking at (number) views of the (left/right foot/ankle) of a skeletally (mature/immature) individual in a (non-weightbearing/weightbearing) position"
  • List all the image views seen

SKELETALLY IMMATURE VS MATURE

  • Immature bone has at least one open growth plate
  • Mature bone has no open growth plates
