When performing an AP ankle, which of the following correctly describes its positioning?
leg fully extended with slight medial rotation applied
leg fully extended with slight lateral rotation applied
leg flexed 45 degrees with the plantar surface placed on the image receptor
leg fully extended with the foot left in natural position
leg fully extended with the foot left in natural position
