Abstract

Before analyzing a deformity on a lower extremity, we have to be sure that the orthoroentgenogram, commonly known as the “scanogram,” has been taken properly. This X-ray has to be taken while the patient is standing, three meters from the tube; the pelvis and the ankle must be included with the patella in a neutral position. The X-ray has to be acquired after compensation of the joint contractures and limb length discrepancies. After the ideal orthoroentgenogram has been taken, the deformity analysis can be undertaken.
