Overmorgen skal hun til røntgen igen, hvis håndleddet stadig er hævet.

Overmorgen means the day after tomorrow.

Danish often builds time expressions as single words, so overmorgen is one fixed word, not two separate words. Compare:

• i morgen = tomorrow
• overmorgen = the day after tomorrow

So this is just the normal Danish form.

Because Danish main clauses normally follow the verb-second rule.

That means the finite verb comes in the second position, no matter what comes first. Here, Overmorgen has been placed first, so the verb skal must come next, and the subject hun comes after it:

• Hun skal til røntgen igen overmorgen.
• Overmorgen skal hun til røntgen igen.

Both are correct, but the second version emphasizes when it will happen.

Here skal means something like is going to, is supposed to, or has to, depending on context.

In this sentence, it probably suggests a planned or expected medical visit, not just a neutral future. So skal often carries a sense of:

• arrangement
• expectation
• obligation
• necessity

A pure English will is often not the best match. Danish vil usually means want to or sometimes future with a different nuance, so hun vil til røntgen would sound quite different.

Because til røntgen is an idiomatic Danish expression meaning for an X-ray or to get X-rayed.

In medical Danish, names of treatments, tests, or departments are often used without an article after til:

• til lægen = to the doctor
• til tandlæge / til tandlægen = to the dentist
• til undersøgelse = for an examination
• til røntgen = for an X-ray

So til røntgen is the natural phrasing here.

It can mean different but related things, depending on context.

In everyday Danish, røntgen may refer to:

• an X-ray image
• an X-ray examination
• the radiology department

In hun skal til røntgen, it most naturally means she is going for an X-ray examination.

A rough English-friendly approximation is RUHN-gen, but the vowel ø does not exist in English, so the approximation is imperfect.

A few helpful points:

• rø has the Danish ø sound, which is rounded
• ntg can feel a bit clustered for English speakers
• the stress is usually on the first syllable: RØNT-gen

You do not need a perfect English equivalent for ø right away; it is enough at first to recognize it as a special Danish vowel.

Håndleddet is the definite singular form of et håndled = a wrist.

So:

• et håndled = a wrist
• håndleddet = the wrist

The noun håndled is neuter (et-word), so the definite ending is -et. Because the base word already ends in d, you get:

• håndled + et = håndleddet

Because Danish often uses the definite form for body parts when the owner is obvious from context.

So if the sentence is about her, then håndleddet naturally means her wrist.

This is very common in Danish. English often prefers a possessive, but Danish often does not:

• Hun vaskede hænderne = She washed her hands
• Han brækkede benet = He broke his leg
• håndleddet = her wrist here

You could say hendes håndled, but that would usually sound more explicit or contrastive.

Because hvis is the normal word for a condition:

• hvis håndleddet stadig er hævet = if her wrist is still swollen

Danish om usually means whether / if in indirect questions, not a condition:

• Jeg ved ikke, om hun kommer = I don’t know if / whether she is coming

So here the meaning is conditional, and hvis is the right choice.

Because hvis håndleddet stadig er hævet is a subordinate clause, and Danish word order changes in subordinate clauses.

After a word like hvis, Danish does not use the main-clause verb-second pattern. Instead, adverbs such as stadig, ikke, aldrig, etc. often come before the finite verb:

• hvis håndleddet stadig er hævet
• hvis håndleddet ikke er hævet

Compare a main clause:

• Håndleddet er stadig hævet

So this is a very useful word-order contrast to notice.

Here hævet means swollen.

It is a common word for something in the body that has become enlarged because of injury or inflammation:

• et hævet knæ = a swollen knee
• en hævet ankel = a swollen ankle
• håndleddet er hævet = the wrist is swollen

So after er, it functions as an adjective describing the condition of the wrist.

Here igen means again, and its position is natural after til røntgen:

• Overmorgen skal hun til røntgen igen

That is the most straightforward version.

You may also hear:

• Hun skal igen til røntgen

That can put slightly more focus on the fact that this is a repeated event. But in neutral speech, the placement in your sentence is very common and natural.

Because hvis håndleddet stadig er hævet is a subordinate clause.

In Danish, a comma is often used before subordinate clauses introduced by words like:

• hvis = if
• fordi = because
• at = that
• da = when/since

So the comma helps mark the boundary between:

• the main clause: Overmorgen skal hun til røntgen igen
• the subordinate clause: hvis håndleddet stadig er hævet

You should also know that some modern Danish comma styles allow this comma to be omitted, but many learners will see it written exactly as it appears here.
