Answer to Question 1

a closed medial mortise

Rationale: Proper 45 degree medial rotation can be indicated when the medial mortise closes. The tibiotalar, lateral mortise, and distal tibiofibular joint will be open.

Answer to Question 2

the patient's feet are positioned lower than the head

Rationale: Fowler's position slightly raises the patient's head above the level of their feet.
