Tibia and Fibula Simulation

Quick reference

Question	What to expect
Which projections are confirmed?	AP and lateral Tibia/Fibula views.
Can users try other projections?	Yes. These are confirmed examples. Other projections may be possible when the simulated setup supports them.
What anatomy is included?	Anatomy from the knee, tibia/fibula, and foot regions is available, including femur, patella, tibia, fibula, tarsal bones, metatarsal bones, and phalanges.
What setup is used?	Free-plating workflow with the patient supine on the table.
What movement is included?	Left hip pronation/supination and full X/Y patient repositioning on the bed.
What bone variations exist?	Healthy bone version.
Known limitation	Confirmed projection coverage is AP and lateral. Other lower-leg projections are not currently listed as confirmed views.

Projection expectations

The projections listed on this page are confirmed examples for this simulation module. They do not define the full limit of what can be attempted. The simulator creates an image from the selected anatomy, patient position, joint movement, detector setup, tube position, collimation, and exposure settings, so other projections may be possible when the setup supports them.

Imaging capabilities

Capability	Details
Radiographic tube	Full range of motion, including vertical, horizontal, tilt, and rotation. The cassette can be rotated, and collimation size is adjustable.
Detector methods	The detector is set up for free plating with the patient supine on the table.
Confirmed projections	Confirmed examples include AP and lateral Tibia/Fibula views. They do not define the full limit of what can be attempted. Other projections may be possible when the simulated setup supports them.

Anatomy and movement

Area	Details
Included anatomy	Anatomy from the knee, tibia/fibula, and foot regions is available, including femur, patella, tibia, fibula, tarsal bones, metatarsal bones, and phalanges.
Joint mobility	Left hip pronation and supination are available. The patient can also be repositioned across the bed in the X and Y axes.
