FAQs

What is an X-Ray Both Knee Skyline?

X-Ray Both Knee Skyline is a specialized X-ray examination of both knees that captures Skyline (Axial/Sunrise/Merchant) views of the patella (kneecap) and the patellofemoral joint to evaluate their alignment and condition.

What is the Skyline view?

The Skyline view (also called the Axial, Sunrise, or Merchant view) is a specialized X-ray projection that provides a clear image of the undersurface of the kneecap (patella) and the patellofemoral joint.

Can this X-ray detect patellar dislocation or instability?

Yes. It helps evaluate patellar alignment, maltracking, subluxation (partial dislocation), and recurrent kneecap instability.

Can it detect arthritis?

Yes. It is particularly useful for identifying patellofemoral osteoarthritis, including joint space narrowing, bone spurs (osteophytes), and degenerative changes.
