An ankle digital X-ray is a diagnostic imaging procedure that is used to assess the bones and structures of the ankle joint. It provides detailed images of the ankle to evaluate and diagnose various conditions, including fractures, dislocations, arthritis, ligament injuries, and other abnormalities. The procedure involves positioning the patient's ankle in different angles to capture images from multiple perspectives, including front, side, and oblique views. These images help healthcare professionals assess the alignment of the bones, identify any signs of injury or degeneration, and determine the appropriate treatment plan. Digital X-rays are non-invasive, relatively quick, and provide high-resolution images that can be easily shared and interpreted by healthcare providers.
