Radiological Anatomy for Fractures

Radiological anatomy for fractures involves studying how bones appear on imaging tests like X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs to identify breaks or cracks. It helps healthcare professionals see the exact location, type, and extent of a fracture. For example, a hairline crack may look like a thin line, while a complete break might show the bone in two or more pieces. Understanding how bones normally look on these images allows clinicians to diagnose fractures accurately, plan treatment, and monitor healing over time. This imaging is essential for safe and effective management of bone injuries.
