What is X-ray Ankle joint Mortise view?

An X-ray Ankle Joint Mortise View is a diagnostic imaging technique used to assess the bones and joints of the ankle. The ""mortise"" view specifically looks at the space between the tibia and fibula, and the talus, providing a clear image of the ankle joint's alignment.

During the procedure, the patient typically stands or sits with the foot positioned in a 15- to 20-degree rotation inward. This allows the radiologist to evaluate fractures, arthritis, dislocations, and ligament damage.

The procedure is quick, non-invasive, and requires no special preparation. Results are analyzed to determine any abnormalities or conditions affecting the joint.

What to expect & how to prepare

An X-ray takes a picture of bones or chest structures in a few seconds. A radiographer positions you, asks you to hold still and briefly hold your breath for chest views. Nothing is injected.

• Eat and drink normally: a plain X-ray needs no diet restriction before your appointment.
• Metal: remove jewellery, coins, belts and clothing with zips or hooks over the area, or change into a gown as advised.
• Positioning: you may be asked to stand, sit or lie in a specific position — for weight-bearing views you will stand on the affected limb.
• Bring earlier films: previous X-rays of the same area help with comparison.

A plain X-ray uses a small dose of ionising radiation. Tell the radiographer before the exposure if you are pregnant or think you might be.

Taken by a radiographer and reported by a radiologist; bring the doctor's advice that requested it.
