How I get really awesome sunrise views.

My secret to consistently getting perfect sunrise views are from one sponge.
This beautiful sponge:

When the patient is laying down supine on the table I slip this under their knees and angle the tube just right... BAM. Perfection.

This is my set up.

Just pretend there is a person there.

That's at 110 degrees. Which is a 30 degree angle cephalic.

Each and every time my pictures turn out like this.

Except not blurry!

I found one similar online to the one my work bought for me here:

Bolster, 6.63 X 9.00 X 18.00


It really helps make the perfect angle and patients find this more comfortable then holding the legs up themselves or by laying on their stomach.

Old injury

No history was obtained besides the knowledge of an old injury.

Patella dysplasia/ Patellectomy

This patient came in with left knee pain. They had a trauma at the age of 18 and had a near complete patellectomy.
The bits are multiple calcifications in the patellar region.
I got this information from the patients chart.
