Why is this examination performed?

This examination is commonly performed to investigate tailbone pain (coccydynia), trauma, suspected fractures, dislocations, degenerative changes, congenital abnormalities, and other conditions affecting the coccyx and sacrococcygeal region.

Which structures are examined during the test?

The examination visualizes the coccyx, sacrococcygeal joint, lower sacrum, coccygeal vertebrae, and surrounding bony structures.
