Service Providers for X-ray of Left Ankle Joint (Mortise View)
An X-ray of the Left Ankle Joint (Mortise View) is a specialized imaging procedure that focuses on the ankle joint to assess its alignment and detect injuries or conditions affecting the bones and soft tissues. In the mortise view, the foot is positioned with the ankle rotated inward by about 15-20 degrees. This angle allows a clear view of the joint space between the tibia, fibula, and talus, helping to identify fractures, dislocations, arthritis, or ligament injuries. The procedure is quick, non-invasive, and generally requires no special preparation, though patients may need to remove any clothing or accessories near the ankle.
