## 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.                                   |

<Card title="Projection expectations" icon="circle-info" type="note">
  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.

| 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. |

| 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.                                   |

## Bone variations

* Healthy bone version

## Known limitations

Confirmed projection coverage for this module is AP and lateral. Range of motion is limited to left hip pronation/supination and X/Y patient repositioning on the bed.
