Book Hand & Wrist X-Ray Appointment

Hand and wrist X-ray is the primary diagnostic tool for evaluating injuries, fractures, and joint conditions affecting the fingers, hand, wrist, and carpal bones. The hand and wrist contain 27 bones and numerous joints, making X-ray essential for identifying fractures that may not be apparent on physical examination alone. At DCDC in Dubai Healthcare City, our digital X-ray system provides exceptional bone detail for accurate diagnosis of even subtle fractures.

Scaphoid fractures are among the most clinically significant wrist injuries because they are easily missed on initial examination and have a high risk of complications including non-union and avascular necrosis if untreated. Standard wrist X-ray with dedicated scaphoid views can detect most scaphoid fractures, though some occult fractures may require follow-up imaging with MRI. Our radiologists are trained to identify the subtle lucency and cortical disruption that characterize these fractures.

Colles fractures (distal radius fractures) are the most common wrist fractures, typically resulting from a fall onto an outstretched hand. X-ray reveals the fracture pattern, degree of displacement, angulation, and any involvement of the articular surface. These findings are critical for determining whether conservative treatment with casting is sufficient or whether surgical fixation is needed to restore normal anatomy.
