Some cases where to use X-rays in podiatric medicine

Fractures

X-rays are the gold standard imaging for fractures and are used to accurately identify the location, type and severity of foot and ankle fractures and stress fractures.

Arthritis and osteoarthritis

X-rays are the first imaging of choice to assess the condition of the many joints of the foot. X-rays can reveal signs such as bone erosion, reduced joint space, and the formation of bone spurs (osteophytes). The severity of osteoarthritis, as in the case of osteoarthritis of the big toe (hallux rigidus), is determined by X-ray. In some cases, clues to other forms of arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis or psoriatic arthritis can be identified on X-rays.

Deformity or misalignment of the bones

X-rays help evaluate conditions such as hammertoes, bunions (hallux valgus), and flat feet.

Soft tissue injuries

Although less detailed for these injuries, where musculoskeletal ultrasound is preferred, X-rays can detect some injuries in cases of sprains.

Preoperative evaluation

X-rays are used to plan surgical procedures, for example to correct a bunion (hallux valgus). Measuring angles between the different bones makes it possible to select the ideal procedure to correct the problem.
