Question

During an outpatient surgery, a doctor requests that the assistant turn on a mini camera so it gives a posterior and inferior view of the knee. Which of the following is another way to request this image? View of the right side of the knee, looking laterally View of the left side of the knee, looking medially View of the top of the knee, looking down View of the bottom of the knee, looking up

Answer 1

I am going to put this in my own words. Posterior means back, basically, and inferior means lower. I'll let you figure it out from there.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is D: View of the bottom of the knee, looking up.      

Explanation:

The knee superior limit belongs to the inferior part of the quadriceps, while its inferior limit belongs to the imaginary horizontal line that passes under the anterior tuberosity of the tibia and follows a circular trajectory. There are two regions in the knee, the anterior or kneecapen, and the posterior or popliteal.

A posterior and inferior view of the knee corresponds to a view of the bottom of the knee, looking up. In this direction, it is possible to see the posterior part of the knee and its inferior limits.
