Quick reference
| Question | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Which projections are confirmed? | AP, oblique, and lateral ankle 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? | 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? | Foot plantarflexion/dorsiflexion, hip internal/external rotation, and patient craniocaudal and mediolateral adjustment. |
| What bone variations exist? | Healthy bone version, lateral malleolus fracture variation, and medial malleolus fracture variation. |
| Known limitation | Internal ankle rotation is limited, which may affect views that require medial rotation. |

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 because the patient is supine on the table. |
| Confirmed projections | Confirmed examples include AP, oblique, and lateral views. They do not define the full limit of what can be attempted. Other projections may be possible when the simulated setup supports them. |
