Answer to Question 1

longitudinal arch

Rationale: The structural status of the longitudinal arch is of interest on the lateromedial weight-bearing projection.

Answer to Question 2

two overlapping AP images are acquired to demonstrate the proximal and distal end.

Rationale: The femur is a long bone. On adult patients, the positioning of the femur will require two overlapping AP images.
