Just wondering what x-rays surgeons [in Australia] prefer when referring patients for assessment of a Tailor's bunion?
Do the images requested vary depending on a patient's age?
Thanks,
Kim.

Weightbearing anterior-posterior (i.e. dorsal-plantar), lateral and medial oblique radiographs are most commonly ordered here in the States for evaluation of Tailor's bunion deformity.
