While the image shows a lateral projection of the distal leg, to fully assess the entire leg, an AP projection of the knee and proximal leg is necessary. This will provide a complete view of the entire leg from top to bottom. An AP of the ankle and distal leg may also be helpful for a complete assessment of the lower leg and foot, but it is not the most crucial for completing the projection of the leg shown in the image.
