X-ray of feet

Injuries and diseases of the foot require quick and accurate diagnosis to prescribe the right treatment. Foot X-ray is one of the most informative examination methods that allows the doctor to quickly assess the condition of the bones and joints.

At Oxford Medical, you can have your foot X-rayed at three medical centers, at the following addresses:

• Kyiv, 30B Bereznyakivska St. (Livoberezhna St.);
• Kyiv, 1 Mykhayla Hryshka St. (Poznyaki St.);
• Irpin, 2/1 Universytetska St., building 3.

Including, there is a 24-hour emergency room at 1 M. Hryshka St., where, if necessary, you can not only have your foot X-rayed, but also get help from an orthopedic traumatologist.

An X-ray of the foot provides images of the bones, joints, and soft tissues. It allows the doctor to detect pathologies such as:

• fractures;
• dislocations;
• bone spurs;
• degenerative changes in the joints (arthrosis);
• tumors or infectious processes.

In particular, with arthrosis of the foot, an X-ray helps to assess the condition of the articular surfaces and the presence of bone deposits, with arthritis - the presence of an inflammatory process, with flat feet, an X-ray shows deformations that can affect gait.

At Oxford Medical, foot X-rays are performed using a new digital device that provides high image quality with minimal radiation exposure.

The procedure consists of several stages:

1. The patient is asked to sit or stand so that the X-ray beam can pass through the foot correctly. Most often, foot images are taken in two projections: direct and lateral.
2. The doctor adjusts the device and takes several images of the foot. At the same time, the patient must remain still so that the images are clear.
3. Almost immediately, the images of the foot appear on the monitor screen, and the specialist can examine and describe them in detail.

Most often, foot X-rays are performed in two projections: front and lateral. This allows you to obtain detailed information about the condition of the bones and joints.

If there is suspicion of bone or joint deformation, a weight-bearing X-ray of the foot is performed, when the images are taken under the pressure of the body weight.

For pain in the heel area, an X-ray of the heel is prescribed. It allows you to detect spurs, cracks and other pathologies.

X-ray of the lower leg is a painless, fast and highly informative diagnostic method. In our clinic you can undergo an examination in comfortable conditions and, if necessary, get a consultation from a specialized doctor.

During an X-ray examination, the doctor assesses the condition of the bones, joints, and the relative position of the foot structures. When performing an X-ray of the foot, the norm is the absence of pathological changes: all bones have clear contours, their shape and size correspond to anatomical standards, the interosseous spaces are preserved, there are no signs of fractures, cracks, dislocations, or deformations.

In normal foot images:

• the bones are located in a physiological position;
• the joint gaps are of uniform width;
• there are no darkening, growths, or other foreign bodies;
• there are no signs of degenerative or inflammatory processes;
• the longitudinal and transverse arches of the foot are preserved, there are no signs of flat feet or deformations.

If it is necessary to assess the condition of small bones in more detail or if an injury is suspected, a separate X-ray of the toes can be performed. This study helps to determine the presence of fractures, displacements, or inflammatory changes in the phalanges of the fingers.

It is not recommended to interpret X-ray results yourself - only a doctor can determine whether the X-ray of the foot is normal and whether there are signs of disease or injury.

The price of a foot X-ray at the Oxford Medical clinic depends on the type of examination: one or two projections, with or without load. You can find out the price of a foot X-ray here.
