40 Calcaneus Lateral Film The calcaneus, talus and ankle should be demonstrated in a true lateral position. The domes of the talus will be superimposed. Soft tissues adjacent to the calcaneus and ankle should be visualized.

41 Chapter 18 Foot Radiography Fractures are characterized by involvement of the subtalar joint (75%) and not involving the subtalar joint. Stress fractures are common in runners but typically not seen on radiographs. Stress fractures, plantar fascitis or heel spurs are common repetitive use conditions.

42 Foot or Heel Radiography Views of the foot and calcaneus are totally different. If a heel injury is suspected, take heel views and not foot views. A 30 degree medial oblique view can be useful. The oblique and lateral will demonstrate the subtalar joint.

43 Foot Radiography Foot view must include the tarsal bones, metatarsals and phalanges. A tube angle is used to open the tarsal bone articulations on the A-P view. If the patient is flat footed, no tube angle would be needed.

44 Foot Radiography The medial oblique view is particularly useful. It provides: A clear view of the tarsal bone including the calcaneus. The 4 th & 5 th metatarsals Intertarsal joints Detail of the 5 th metatarsal

45 Foot Radiography The basketball foot is a traumatic medial subtalar dislocation resulting from landing on an inverted foot. The Jones fracture is an avulsion fracture off the base of the 5 th metatarsal. Stress fractures of the metatarsals are generally transverse resulting from marching or jumping.

46 Toe Radiography Toe radiography can be particularly challenging. The natural curve of the toes toward the plantar surface of the foot results in foreshortening and closure of the interphalangeal joint spaces. Besides the A-P, an angled axial view is used to open the joint spaces.

47 18.4 Foot A-P Measure: A-P at base of third metatarsal Protection: Apron SID: 40 Table Top Tube Angle: 10 cephalad Film: 1/2 of 10 x 12 Extremity Cassette I.D. up

49 Foot A-P Vertical CR: long axis of foot. Collimation Top to Bottom: distal tibia to tips of toes. Collimation Side to Side: soft tissue of foot Instructions: Remain still Make exposure and let patient relax

50 Foot A-P Film Should demonstrate toes, metatarsals and most of the tarsal bones. The talus and calcaneus will not be seen. The tube angle will help open the tarsal joint spaces.

51 18.5Foot Oblique Measure: A-P at base of third metatarsal Protection: Apron SID: 40 Table Top No Tube Angle Film: 1/2 of 10 x 12 Extremity Cassette I.D. up

58 Foot Lateral Collimation Top to Bottom: to include ankle to plantar surface soft tissue Collimation Side to Side: to include from heel to tips of toes. Instructions: Remain still Make exposure and let patient relax.

59 Foot Lateral Film The foot and ankle should be in a lateral position. The metatarsals and toes will be superimposed. The distal fibula should overlie the distal tibia. The talotibial joint space should be open.

60 18.7 Toes A-P & Axial A-P Measure: A-P at 3rd metatarsal phalangeal joint or affected toe Protection: Lead Apron SID: 40 Table Top Tube Angle A-P: none Tube Angle Axial A-P: 15 cephalad Film: 1/4 of 10 x 12 Extremity

61 Toes A-P & Axial A-P A-P : patient places foot flat on film. Horizontal & Vertical CR: 3rd M-P joint for all toes or M-P joint of the affected toe for individual toe series. A-P Axial tube angle: same as above but with 15 cephalad angle.

62 Toes A-P & Axial A-P A-P Axial with Sponge: a 15 sponge is placed under toes instead of angling the tube. Or The Sponge is placed under the cassette Horizontal & Vertical CR: 3rd M-P joint for all toes or M-P joint of affected toe.

63 Toes A-P & Axial A-P Collimation top to bottom: to include all M-P joints to tips of toes or M-P joint to tip of affected toe. Collimation Side to Side: soft tissue of foot or individual toe. Instructions: Remain Still Expose and let patient relax

64 Toes A-P & Axial A-P Film A-P is upper right image. A-P Axial is upper left image. The phalangeal joints will be open on the axial view. Views must include all of the affected toe or toes. Note that collimation was too tight top to bottom.

65 18.8 Toes Medial Oblique Measure: A-P at metatarsalphalangeal joints Protection: Apron SID: 40 Table Top No tube angle Film: 1/4 of 10 x 12 or 8 x 10 Extremity Cassette

66 Toes Medial Oblique Patient places distal foot on unexposed portion of cassette. Patient medially rotates lower leg until the plantar surface forms a 30 to 45 angle. Horizontal CR: 3rd MTP joint or the affected toe.

67 Toes Medial Oblique Vertical CR: centered to long axis of foot or the affected toe Collimation top to bottom: Distal metatarsal to tips of toes or affected toe Collimation side to side: soft tissue of foot or affected toe.

68 Toes Medial Oblique Patient instructions: Remain Still Make exposure and let patient relax. Note that a sponge may be placed under plantar surface of foot to control angle of view. It will also make it more comfortable for the patient.

69 Toes Medial Oblique The joint spaces should be open. The distal metatarsal and tips of the toes should be visualized.

70 18.8 Toes Lateral Measure: Lateral across the metatarsalphalangeal joints For individual toe use A-P measurement. Protection: Apron SID: 40 Table Top No tube angle Film: 1/4 of 10 x 12 or 8 x 10 Extremity Cassette

71 Patient places distal foot on unexposed portion of cassette. For 1st through 3rd toes Patient medially rotates lower leg until the plantar surface forms a 90 angle. For 4th and 5th toes Patient laterally rotates foot until the plantar surface is perpendicular to film. 1st Toe Lateral

72 2nd Toe Lateral For individual toes, tape and tongue depressors are used to clear the other toes out of the view. Without the use of tape and tongue depressors, there will be too much superimposition

73 Horizontal CR: 3rd MTP joint or the affected toe. Vertical CR: centered to long axis of foot or the affected toe Collimation top to bottom: Distal metatarsal to tips of toes or affected toe Collimation side to side: soft tissue of foot or affected toe. 3rd Toe Lateral

74 4th Toe Lateral Patient instructions: Remain Still Make exposure and let patient relax. Note that the lateral surface of the foot is next to the film.

75 5th Toe Lateral Note that the lateral surface of the foot is next to the film. The toe need to remain parallel to the film. The 5th toe is the most challenging lateral toe view.

76 Toes Lateral Film The joint spaces should be open. The distal metatarsal and tips of the toes should be visualized. The affected toe should be free of superimposition. Return to Lecture Index
