Welcome to the newest innovation in foot and ankle imaging- weightbearing fluoroscopy. This is an incredible tool that every foot and ankle specialists should incorporate into their practice. The majority of foot and ankle disorders are due to abnormal dynamic forces, a traditional radiograph only gives us a static image. We invite you to take a closer look at what is actually happening inside.

Dr. Michael E. Graham has developed the first orthroposer for use with the traditional mini c-arm. Both static and dynamic images are now available for viewing not only by the practitioner for diagnostic purposes, but it also is an excellent educational tool for the patient.
