Anatomy coverage

Acetabulum, femoral head/neck, proximal third of femur, greater trochanter.

Tech pearls

  • Suspected fracture? Skip rotation, go straight to cross-table lateral.
  • Frog-leg lateral only when fracture is ruled out.

Image evaluation

  • Femoral neck without foreshortening
  • Greater trochanter in profile on lateral

Common mistakes

  • Trying to rotate a possibly fractured hip — don't!

Trauma modifications

  • NEVER rotate suspected hip fracture — use horizontal beam (Danelius-Miller) lateral.
  • If patient cannot flex opposite leg, use modified axiolateral (Clements-Nakayama).
