Why X-Ray Both Heels AP/LAT is Done
The X-Ray Both Heels AP/LAT helps detect underlying causes of heel discomfort or trauma. It is particularly useful for identifying fractures, infections, or abnormal bone alignment. If you experience persistent heel pain, swelling, or difficulty walking, this X-ray can provide valuable diagnostic information.
Common reasons for X-Ray Both Heels AP/LAT include:
-
Heel bone or calcaneal fractures
-
Bone spurs or plantar fasciitis
-
Arthritis or degenerative changes
-
Heel deformities or alignment issues
-
Post-surgical follow-up and recovery assessment
This test aids in differentiating between conditions that may appear similar but require different treatment approaches.
