Hi,
I don't understand this segment. Here is the entire sentence: "La planification était réalisée à partir de clichés radiographiques du tibia entier de profil réalisés à l'échelle du patient."
Thanks
Joanna

What they mean is that they took images of the entire body, and looked at the tibia on those images.

It's kind of meaningless filler, like a verbal tic, I would just translate it as "on".
The term "à l'échelle du" doesn't add any meaning, since it's obvious whose tibia it is!

If you examine spoken language, it's full of filler, things like "C'est-à-dire que...", "Je veux dire que...", "Euh..., "...hein ?", etc.. This happens in written language too sometimes, when people write the same way they speak.
But asking the client is always a safe bet.
