This video demonstrates how fluoroscopy and X-ray imaging can show the bones of the foot during and after a procedure. The doctor points out tarsal and toe bones, screw fixation after bunionectomy, a small heel spur, and a retrocalcaneal spur. The anatomical labels should be confirmed against the images.

This is fluoroscopy, an X-ray imaging system that allows us to visualize the bones of the foot. The image shown is a foot X-ray taken after surgery. The doctor points out the tarsal bones, a phalanx, and screw fixation from bunionectomy surgery.
He also identifies a small heel spur on the bottom of the heel and a retrocalcaneal spur. The final image is an X-ray view of the heel.
Key takeaways
- Fluoroscopy and X-ray imaging allow the bones of the foot to be visualized.
- The video points out screw fixation after bunionectomy surgery.
- A plantar heel spur and a retrocalcaneal spur are identified on the images.
