X-Ray Knee Skyline View

What is an X-ray Knee Skyline View Test?

The skyline or axial view of the patella-femoral joint shows valuable information about its shape and anatomy. It gets a piece of the patella's axial projection (kneecap). It works well for patients who can stay in a semi-reclined (half-lying down) position on the exam table.

Why is it done? 

• This view is used in trauma and orthopedics to check for patellar fractures or subluxations and patellofemoral joint disease.
• To identify infections, osteoporosis, bone abnormalities, or abnormal bone development.
• To diagnose dislocation of the knee.
