What is a Lower Leg X-Ray?

An X-ray of the tibia and fibula is a safe and painless test that uses a small amount of radiation to take a picture of the lower leg. During the examination, an X-ray machine sends a beam of radiation through the lower leg, and an image is recorded on a computer or special X-ray film.

Who should get this test?

A tib-fib X-ray can help find the cause of symptoms such as pain, limp, tenderness, swelling, or deformity of the lower leg. It can detect a broken bone, and after a broken bone has been set, it can help determine whether the bone is in satisfactory alignment.

Is there radiation involved?

Yes. X-ray is an imaging test which involves a small amount of radiation to show pictures of the organs, tissues, and bones of the body.
