X-ray of Right Ankle Joint (Mortise View) Price in Bangladesh

What is X-ray of Right Ankle Joint (Mortise View)?

An X-ray of the right ankle joint in the Mortise view is used to evaluate the bones, ligaments, and joints of the ankle, particularly for fractures or injuries. In this view, the patient’s foot is positioned with the ankle dorsiflexed and rotated inward (approximately 15–20 degrees), so the tibia and fibula form a ""mortise"" or open space with the talus bone.

This allows a clear view of the ankle joint's alignment and helps detect fractures, dislocations, or arthritis. The Mortise view is especially useful for assessing lateral malleolus and the joint space.

Typically, no special preparation is needed for this X-ray.

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.
