The femoral interference screw seems to *straddle *Blumensaat’s Line at the
intersection with the posterior femoral cortex.
I’m not sure if it’s supposed to extend this* low*?
Seems find in the AP / PA.
Is this normal?
There is capsular distention….will recommend MRI…just like to know what
I’m looking at on XR…otherwise it’s just a waste of good radiation.
Thanks for your help…Hilary

Hello,
Its ok- in fact it should be less than 75 deg angle on coronal or AP view – so little better on left side.
The foot plate is also more anteriorly located than previously thought.
