What is an extremity X-ray and what is it used for?

Extremity X-ray is a study that uses digital X-rays to obtain clear images of bones, joints, and nearby tissues in the hands, wrist, arm, foot, ankle, knee, femur, and shoulder.

It is used to diagnose fractures, dislocations, deformities, arthritis, bone infections, and to monitor orthopedic or post-surgical treatments.

When might it be necessary?

Blows or falls with suspected fracture.

Persistent joint pain (knee, ankle, shoulder).

Congenital or acquired deformities.

Cast control or orthopedic surgery.

Arthritis, joint wear or sports injuries.

Bone infections (osteomyelitis).
