X-ray – Knee Joint AP (Anteroposterior view) is a diagnostic imaging procedure used to examine the knee joint from a front-to-back perspective. It allows clear visualization of the femur, tibia, fibula, and joint space.

This view is commonly used to assess bone alignment, detect fractures, and identify degenerative changes such as arthritis. It is often the first-line imaging test for evaluating knee pain, injury, or swelling.

The Knee AP view may be performed alone or along with additional views for a more detailed assessment. It is a quick, non-invasive procedure that plays an important role in diagnosis and treatment planning.

The purpose of the X-ray – Knee Joint AP test is to:

• Examine knee joint structure
• Assess bone alignment
• Detect fractures or dislocations
• Identify degenerative or arthritic changes
• Support diagnosis of knee conditions
