Abstract:Introduction:
The perfect knee lateral radiograph visualizes anatomic landmarks on the distal femur for clinical and scientific purposes. However, radiographic imaging is a two-dimensional (2D) representation of a three-dimensional (3D) physis. The aim of this study was to characterize the perceived radiographic projection of the femoral physis using perfect lateral digitally reconstructed radiographs (DRRs) and to evaluate discrepancies from this projection to the physis at the lateral and medial … Show more
