Know more about this test
The ankle comprises the tibia, fibula, and talus bones, as well as the ankle and syndesmosis joint. In Anterior-Posterior (AP) projection, X -rays pass from the front to the back of the patient, to create a picture of the area. A radiologist then assesses the images and shares a report that can help in diagnosing fractured bones in the ankle joint, and monitors healing. It also detects infection, osteoporosis, bone deformities and arthritis. Common symptoms include pain, tenderness, swelling or deformity of the ankle joint.
An ankle view x-ray typically takes ~15 minutes. It is safe and painless as radiation exposure is minimal. Pregnant women should inform the doctor before doing the test.
