X-ray Both Calcaneum LAT

What is an X-ray Both Calcaneum LAT View Test?

X-rays are used to see the calcaneus (the bone of the heel) and the soft tissues around it (skin and muscles). This view lets doctors check for bone damage and figure out how big and where fractures are.

The doctor will give you this test to find out if your heel bone (calcaneus) is broken or fractured and check how it heals after it has been set.

Why is it done? 

• To diagnose and monitor broken/fractured calcaneum (heel bone) healing.

• To identify infections, osteoporosis, bone abnormalities, and arthritis (inflammation of the joints).
