Tip #5 for National Foot Health Awareness Month!
Don't get a non-weightbearing X-ray evaluation of your foot and ankle if you are able to stand.
Foot and ankle disorders including fat feet, ligamentous injuries of the midfoot, ankle arthritis, bunions, and hammertoes that are well-demonstrated on weightbearing X-rays may be underestimated or not appreciated at all on non-weightbearing X-rays.
Weightbearing X-rays of the foot and ankle are preferred in order to give the most accurate assessment of the functional bony anatomy of the foot and ankle.
