The OS calcis can be examined in three positions : (1) In the lateral position, plate on outer aspect of foot. (2) Lateral aspect, plate on inner side of the foot. (3) With a plate placed under the foot, the patient standing upon it,the tube being centred behind the bone, well above the insertion of the tendoAchillis, and directed obliquely downwards and forwards. A good view ofthe whole bone may be obtained in this way. To obtain a reliable radiograph of the metatarsus and phalanges, thefoot is placed upon the plate and the tube is directed downwards and slightlytowards the heel. The patient may stand upon the plate ; or if he is lyingon the back, the knee-joint is flexed, and the plantar aspect of the foot isplaced in contact with the plate.
