Knee X-ray (1 to 2 views, both knees)

This is the short knee x-ray — one or two views — billed for both knees. It is the quick look: is anything broken, is the kneecap where it should be, how much space is left between the bones. It is a smaller and cheaper study than the four-or-more-view knee series, and it is not the study that answers every knee question.
