Template:Knee x-rays

Anteroposterior and lateral view
- May consider Merchant's view (for the patellofemoral joint)
Teenage patients who report chronic knee pain and recurrent knee effusion → consider a notch or tunnel view (posteroanterior view with the knee flexed to 40 to 50 degrees)
- Needed to detect radiolucencies of the femoral condyles (most commonly the medial femoral condyle), which indicate the presence of osteochondritis dissecans
