I think it would fail as it would be potentially over blasted with a grid therefore not diagnostic. Try to remember that for C&G OSCEs, ALL rads need a grid EXCEPT the tib/fib....think of it this way and you shouldn't get it wrong

Step 18 (grey box) states: Correct positioning for medio-lateral radiograph of the x tibia and fibula (to include only necessary equipment)

Not sure if it would be a complete fail, I guess that depends on the examiners interpretation.

For horse injections I was told 19g or 20g, didn't matter which one so long as it was a 1 inch needle.

Using a grid is not listed as one of the steps in that task. I don't know whether using one would lose you a mark but I don't think you would fail the whole task. I'm sure there's someone that knows better!

From memory, I think I learnt 18G/19G needle for a horse.
