Also Known As:
Thumb AP/Lat & Oblique is an essential radiographic examination performed to assess anatomical structures, identify abnormalities, and support clinical diagnosis. The procedure is carried out using standard X‑ray techniques and careful patient positioning to obtain clear, diagnostic-quality images. This study helps evaluate bone alignment, joint spaces, fractures, degenerative changes, soft‑tissue involvement, and any traumatic or pathological findings relevant to the patient’s condition. The test is quick, non-invasive, and commonly recommended by clinicians when symptoms such as pain, swelling, restricted movement, deformity, or injury are present. Radiographers follow safety protocols and use minimal radiation exposure while ensuring optimal imaging results. The images obtained provide valuable information for orthopedic, surgical, and medical decision-making, assisting in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. Overall, Thumb AP/Lat & Oblique plays a crucial role in patient evaluation and forms an important part of routine radiological investigations.
