Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The accurate positioning of an AP knee projection should demonstrate the medial and lateral femoral epicondyles in profile, the superimposed tibial condylar margins, and the intercondylar eminence in the center of the intercondylar fossa. However, the fibular head should not be visible on an AP knee projection, as it should be 1 inch (2.5 cm) distal to the tibial plateau. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.
