title: Interpreting the spinal X-ray: 2.
abstract: Part 1 of this article (July 1988, p. 46) detailed the important features of the interpretation of spinal X-rays in the injured patient and part 2 deals with those patients who present with pain or deformity. The type of examination, the way it is carried out, and the way it is interpreted may all differ from the assessment of the patient who has been injured.
