The lateral view provides additional details regarding patellar tracking, joint effusion, subtle fractures, Together, these two views allow clinicians to assess the knee comprehensively from different angles. This combination is ideal for patients with chronic knee pain, deformities, trauma, or suspected degenerative joint disease.
