Wrist X-ray (2 views, both wrists)

This is the short wrist x-ray — two views rather than the fuller series — billed for both wrists. Two views answer the blunt questions: is the bone broken, has it moved, is the joint space worn. Filming both wrists is usual when the question is a joint disease rather than an injury, because the pattern across the two sides is part of the answer.
