German law prohibits to make x-rays of healthy people

Do you guys think it is necessary to send a x-ray with my application for a LL surgery in order to be taken seriously by the clinic/doctor?
I wanna go to the ISIC in India btw, so it will probably be hard enough to convince them of doing LL in any case.

I'm asking, because it has turned out to be illegal in Germany to make x-rays without any indication of the patient being sick - not even with the consent of the patient.
I already got turned down by a clinic and an orthopedist and both referred to the same law. Not joking, that's really what happened 
Now I really wonder how the famous German LL doctors can possibly make x-rays of their LL patients' lower body prior the surgery, since they are still in good health.
Maybe they are just not that law-abiding, I don't know...

Maybe I should just go and ask one of them to make some x-rays of my legs for surgery in another clinic 
Or I'll have to travel to another European country then, just for some stupid x-rays 

How they will check that u are healthy? Can't you say that you had accident or something and you need to see if u broken something?

Taking X-rays right before the surgery is an indication! Even though you're healthy it is necessary in this case, e.g. To plan the operation and other reasons like looking for contraindications. Since the X-ray of the first consultation is meant for giving the indication the this operation it's not illegal.
