Popis: Introduction: This study aimed to find the association between the Knee Movement or KM method versus the traditional lateral knee radiograph positioning procedure and the incidence of true lateral knee radiographs achieved. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study of patients with knee problems that underwent lateral knee radiograph using the knee movement method (KM method), starting from March 2022 until August 2022. Fifty knee radiograph results using the KM method (KM group) were compared to retrospective data from fifty knee radiograph from the patients before March 2022 using the traditional method of lateral knee radiograph as the control (TM group). The data were analysed using the Chi-Square test to see if the KM method is associated with more true lateral knee radiograph results achieved compared to the traditional procedure. Results: Fifty patients in the KM method group had 80% (n=40) true lateral knee radiographs and 20% (n=10) untrue lateral knee radiographs, while in the Traditional Procedure group from the retrospective data of 50 patients had 44% (n=22) true lateral knee radiographs and 56% (n=28) untrue lateral knee radiographs (P
