WingTek Orthotics and Prosthetics now has point-of-care access to medical imaging through eHealth Saskatchewan.
We can pull up your actual X-rays right here in clinic, such as knees, spines, hips, and feet instead of working from a written report alone.
Why it matters
Seeing the imaging helps us understand the internal structures driving each case. Diagnostic reports don’t always tell the whole story, two patients with the same diagnosis can have very different X-rays, and those differences change our treatment plan.
Point-of-care imaging access also makes a real difference for patient education. When we can pull your X-ray up on screen and walk through what we’re seeing together, the reasoning behind a bracing recommendation becomes a lot clearer.
What we can review
- Knees — arthritis severity, medial vs. lateral compartment involvement, and alignment.
- Spines — scoliosis curve measurement, vertebral changes, progression over time
- Hips and pelvis — alignment, joint changes relevant to brace setup
- Feet and ankles — bone position, deformity, post-fracture alignment
