title: [A simple positioning device for radiographic imaging of the patellofemoral joint: a technical note].
abstract: The informative value of axial radiographs of the patellofemoral joint is highly dependent on application techniques and knee positioning. We developed a simple device that enables an appropriate and easy positioning. With the use of this device, patellofemoral axial radiographs can be obtained at 30 degrees of knee flexion.
