X-RAY RIGHT HIP JOINT AP & LAT VIEW
₹875
The anteroposterior view helps to visualize any potential fractures, dislocations, bone lesions or degenerative diseases in the hip joint. It is also often requested in post-operative examinations evaluating the placement of existing orthopaedic devices. The lateral view assesses the hip joint for any potential fractures, dislocations, bone lesions or degenerative diseases (i.e. suspected osteoarthritis of the hip) in an orthogonal plane to the AP projection. As this particular projection involves rolling the patient onto the side of interest, it is hence not suitable for trauma situations.
