What does X Ray Both Wrists AP View show?

This view helps detect fractures, dislocations, arthritis, infections, and congenital or developmental problems. Doctors use it after injuries and for unexplained wrist pain or swelling.

What symptoms suggest X Ray Both Wrists AP View may be needed?

How is X Ray Both Wrists AP View done?

Frequently asked questions

What are the two views of a wrist X-ray?plus

The two standard wrist X-ray views are posteroanterior (PA) and lateral. A PA view shows the distal radius and ulna, carpal bones, and joint spaces, useful for detecting fractures and carpal alignment. A lateral view provides a side profile to assess dorsal/volar displacement, carpal relationships, and distal radius angulation. Both are taken with the wrist in a neutral, flat position.

What does AP view mean in X-ray?plus

AP view stands for anteroposterior. The X‑ray beam travels from the front (anterior) to the back (posterior) of the body toward the detector. It's used when patients can’t stand or for portable exams. AP films can magnify anterior structures (for example, the heart) and differ from PA views, so clinicians account for positioning-related distortion.

What is the purpose of a wrist AP lat X-ray?plus

A wrist AP and lateral X-ray purpose is to visualize bones, joints and soft-tissue outlines from two planes to detect fractures, dislocations, growth plate injuries, degenerative changes and infections. Orthogonal views assess bone alignment, joint space, carpal relationships and foreign bodies, and help plan or confirm fracture reduction and treatment, monitor healing, and evaluate chronic wrist pain or arthritis.

What is the position of the wrist for X-ray?plus

For routine wrist X‑rays, position the forearm and wrist flat on the detector in a PA view (palm down, fingers extended). Take a true lateral with the elbow flexed about 90° and the wrist in a thumb‑up position. Additional views, 45° oblique and a scaphoid view (PA with ulnar deviation and slight tube angulation), are used to visualize specific fractures.

Is X Ray Both Wrists AP View safe if I am pregnant?plus

Tell the centre before X Ray Both Wrists AP View if you are or might be pregnant. Ultrasound and MRI use no ionising radiation; for X-ray or CT the team will decide the safest approach or suggest an alternative.

How should I prepare for X Ray Both Wrists AP View?plus

Wear loose clothing without metal fasteners and remove jewellery before X Ray Both Wrists AP View. Bring your referral, ID, and any earlier scans so the radiologist can compare.
