Abstract:
The main views and indications in adult foot and ankle radiography are detailed. Among foot and ankle diseases, mechanical ones are most frequent, including usual podologic changes (commonly followed by peculiar involvement of certain bones, ligaments, joints, tendons and other soft tissues), synostoses, occult and stress fractures, sprains, and tendon changes. Although they are less frequently encountered in common clinical practice, the radiographic appearance of inflammatory, infectious, and tumoral diseases of foot and ankle are disclosed as well. The correlation existing between some subtle radiographic changes and their counterpart on US, CT, or MR examinations are also emphasized.
