Opening the tiba
1
Position patient
Position the patient supine on the radiolucent table. Ensure
that the knee of the injured leg can be flexed at least 90°.
Position the image intensifier such that visualisation of the
tibia including the articular surface proximally and distally is
possible in AP and lateral views.
Optionally, the procedure can be performed on a fracture
table with the leg placed in traction.
Note:
The knee roller can be placed under the lower part
of the thigh if it obstructs the view of the tibia plateau in AP
view.
