Foot X-Ray — About the Test

A Foot X-Ray provides a detailed image of all 26 bones in the foot — including the toes (phalanges), metatarsals, and the seven tarsal bones of the midfoot and hindfoot. It is the standard first-line investigation for foot pain, injury, deformity, and suspected fracture. In under 10 minutes, a Foot X-Ray can reveal fractures, arthritis, flat foot, heel spurs, foreign bodies, and bone abnormalities. No fasting. No preparation. No injections required.

What Happens During a Foot X-Ray? (Under 10 Minutes)

Key benefits of this package include:

Step 1 — Before the scan: Remove shoes, socks, and any ankle jewellery. No special preparation needed.
Step 2 — Positioning: Three standard views are usually taken — Dorsoplantar (top-down view), Lateral (side view), and Oblique (angled view). For weight-bearing assessment (flat foot, arch evaluation), you may be asked to stand on the X-Ray plate.
Step 3 — The X-Ray: Each exposure is instantaneous and painless. The radiographer guides positioning for each view.
Step 4 — Done: The entire process takes under 10 minutes. Your radiologist report is delivered within 4 hours to your email and WhatsApp.

What a Foot X-Ray Can Detect

Fractures and Trauma

Metatarsal fractures — including stress fractures from running and sports

Jones fracture — specific 5th metatarsal fracture pattern

Phalangeal fractures — fractured toes

Calcaneal (heel bone) fractures — from falls or landing impact

Lisfranc fracture-dislocation — midfoot injury from high-energy trauma

Arthritis and Degeneration

Osteoarthritis — joint space narrowing in MTP joints and midfoot

Gout — chronic tophaceous gout causes bone erosions visible on X-Ray

Rheumatoid arthritis — periarticular erosions in early disease

Structural and Developmental

Flat foot (Pes Planus) — loss of medial arch on weight-bearing view

High arch (Pes Cavus) — exaggerated arch

Bunion (Hallux Valgus) — angular deformity at the big toe joint

Plantar heel spurs — bony projection on the calcaneum at plantar fascia attachment

Accessory ossicles — extra bones (normal variants)

Other Findings

Foreign bodies — glass or metal fragments in the foot

Bone tumours or cysts — unusual bony lesions

FAQs

Foot X-Rays investigate pain, swelling, injury, deformity, and suspected fractures of the foot and ankle. They are the standard first-line imaging test for most foot conditions.

No. Just remove shoes, socks, and ankle jewellery before the scan.

For flat foot and arch assessment, weight-bearing (standing) views give the most accurate information. Your radiographer will advise based on the clinical question.

Plantar fasciitis itself is a soft tissue condition not directly visible on X-Ray. However, a heel spur (bony outgrowth at the plantar fascia attachment) is commonly visible and indicates chronic plantar fascia stress. Diagnosis of plantar fasciitis is primarily clinical, sometimes confirmed with ultrasound.
