Radiographic Technique of the Right Ankle Joint in a Case of Calcaneal Spur at the Radiology Unit of Efarina Etaham Hospital, Pematangsiantar, 2023
Abstract
X-rays can show the presence of fluid, spur formation, narrowing, and changes in bone structure. A calcaneal spur is an abnormal bone growth in the inferior part of the calcaneus. It can usually be caused by microtrauma, aging, sports activities, and obesity. According to Lampignano and Kendrick, ankle joint examination techniques in cases of calcaneal spurs use AP, AP Mortise View, AP Oblique, Lateral, and AP Stress projections. According to Goost in his article, ankle joint radiography techniques in cases of calcaneal spurs use AP Mortise View and Lateral projections. Meanwhile, ankle joint examination techniques in cases of calcaneal spurs at the Radiology Unit of Efarina Etaham Hospital, Pematangsiantar use AP and Lateral projections. This study aims to determine the technique of ankle joint radiography in cases of calcaneal spurs. This research is a qualitative research type using a case study research method. Researchers collected data through observation, interviews, and documentation techniques. The results showed that ankle joint radiography techniques in cases of calcaneal spurs at the Radiology Unit of Efarina Etaham Hospital, Pematangsiantar use AP and Lateral projections. This projection is used because it complies with standard operating procedures. The film processing process at the Radiology Unit of Efarina Etaham Hospital in Pematangsiantar uses computer radiography.
