Answer to Question 1

1st and 2nd metatarsals superimposed

Rationale: The medial rotation of the foot should be approximately 30-40 degrees. Overrotation will be evidenced by the 1st and 2nd metatarsals superimposed. Proper rotation of the foot is evidenced by even space between metatarsals 2-5.

Answer to Question 2

mediolateral

Rationale: The profile of the base of the 5th metatarsal will be seen in the mediolateral projection.
