About X-Ray Left Upper Femur – Hip AP & Lateral Views

An X-ray of the left upper femur – hip AP & lateral views is a special type of X-ray imaging taken of the left upper femur and hip joint. In the Anteroposterior (AP) view, there is a frontal image, and the Lateral view is a profile taken from the side. These views give a full picture of the femoral head, the femoral neck, the greater and lesser trochanters, and the acetabulum (hip socket), the hip joint space, and the surrounding bones. At Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, we adopt high-tech digital radiography technologies that enable high-resolution images, which are critical to diagnose hip injuries and musculoskeletal disorders correctly.

What is an X-Ray Left Upper Femur – Hip AP & Lateral Views?

An X-Ray Left Upper Femur – Hip AP & Lateral Views is an imaging test that will check the bones or joints of the left upper femur and hip (thigh bone), and is quick, painless, and non-invasive. X-rays with the AP and lateral projections may help the doctor see the bone alignment and many other uses, such as for detecting fractures, joint dislocations, and degenerative (scarring) or inflammatory (infection) problems of the hip. This test is typically requested for people with hip or groin pain, trauma, trouble with walking, and/or limited hip mobility.

  • Suspected fracture of the femoral neck or upper femur
  • Hip dislocation
