X-RAY KNEE SKYLINE VIEW
₹500
The X-ray Knee Skyline View and Patellar Skyline View are special X-ray of the knee that shows the kneecap and how it fits with the femur. This is particularly helpful in determining the patellofemoral joint when the knee X-rays may not show the joint clearly. Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy employs cutting-edge digital radiography systems to capture detailed images for thorough examination of knee disorders.
What is an X-Ray Knee Skyline View?
X-ray Knee Skyline View is an imaging procedure that takes X-rays of the kneecap looking up. Book an X-ray Knee Skyline View at Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, an advanced NABL & NABH Accredited Diagnostic Centre in Gurgaon offering high-end services in the field of Radiology & Pathology. Our cutting-edge digital X-ray technology captures detailed views of the patella (kneecap) and patellofemoral joint, which makes it easier for doctors to diagnose patellar fractures, patellar malalignment, patellar arthritis, cartilage wear, and more about your knee joint. Our qualified radiologists deliver quality statements in imaging, safety (very low radiation exposure), and speed (in timely reporting) to ensure accurate diagnosis and sound treatment planning.
About X-Ray Knee Skyline View
The knee is bent at a specific angle. It's quick, painless, and non-invasive. This enables the doctor to assess the position of the patellofemoral joint, joint space, and site of the patella. It is usually ordered for people who experience pain in the front of the knee, who have had a sports or knee injury, and who are suspected of having patellar instability.
Common Reasons for an X-Ray Knee Skyline View
- Pain at the front of the knee
- Suspected patellar dislocation or subluxation
- Knee injury after a fall or sports activity
- Swelling around the kneecap
- Difficulty climbing stairs or squatting
- Evaluation of patellofemoral arthritis
