Case Discussion
The Saltzman view is also known as a hind foot alignment view.
This view described by Saltzman and El-Khoury1 involves a 20 degree angulation caudally towards the ankle joint from the posterior aspect, with the detector perpendicular at the anterior aspect of the foot. The patient is in an upright posture standing atop a perspex platform, with weight distributed equally on both feet.
