knee X-rays

• Procedure Time: Typically takes about 5–10 minutes.
• Common Views: You may be asked to stand (to see how the joint handles weight) or lie down. Standard views include Anteroposterior (AP) from the front and Lateral from the side. A "Sunrise" view may be taken to look specifically behind the kneecap.
• Preparation: No special prep is needed. You should wear loose-fitting clothing; if your pants have metal zippers or buttons, you may be asked to change into a hospital gown.
• Stay Still: You will need to keep your leg perfectly still for a few seconds while the image is captured to prevent blurring.
• Post-Exam: There is no recovery time. You can walk, drive, and return to your usual activities immediately after the appointment.
