Why X-Ray Forearm AP/LAT is Important
An X-Ray Forearm AP/LAT is essential for detecting bone fractures, dislocations, and deformities. It also helps assess bone healing after surgery or immobilization in a cast. This test provides vital information about:
-
Fractures or bone cracks in the radius or ulna
-
Bone deformities or abnormal angulation
-
Joint alignment issues (wrist or elbow)
-
Detection of infections, cysts, or bone tumors
-
Evaluation of post-surgical healing or implant placement
In Karad, many orthopedic specialists refer patients to Diagnopein for X-Ray Forearm AP/LAT due to our reliable, clear imaging that supports faster diagnosis and treatment plans.
