About X-Ray Both Ankle Lateral View

X-Ray Both Ankle Lateral View is a specialized X-ray that takes a lateral (side) view of both ankles. The distal tibia and fibula, talus, calcaneus (heel bone), and the alignment of the ankle joints are seen with excellent visualization. Taking pictures of both ankles also allows doctors the opportunity to compare the healthy ankle to the injured ankle if needed. Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy take advantage of technology sophisticated enough to create high-resolution images for accurate assessment of ankle injuries and musculoskeletal disorders.

What is an X-Ray Both Ankle Lateral View?

An X-Ray Both Ankle Lateral View is an extremely rapid, nondestructive, and painless imaging test to evaluate both ankles laterally from a side view of both ankles. The lateral projection is used to help assess bone alignment, joint spaces, fractures, dislocation, and degenerative change not well seen in the frontal view of the bone. Ankle pain, swelling, trauma, and a lack of motion are all typical reasons for considering this exam.

Common Reasons for an X-Ray: Both Ankle Lateral Views

  • Ankle injury following a fall or accident
  • Persistent pain in one or both ankles
  • Suspected ankle fracture
  • Swelling around the ankle joint
  • Difficulty walking or bearing weight
  • Evaluation of arthritis
  • Follow-up after ankle surgery or treatment
  • Assessment of chronic ankle disorders
