Conrad Roentgen discovered X rays in 1895 and soon after made a photograph of his wife's hand. This first X ray showing the bones of her fingers, rings and keys is the most famous X ray ever taken.

Doctors immediately realised it's worth in detecting bone fractures and foreign objects in the body. I would say by 1900it was used in fracture clinics.
