ABSTRACT
Positioning for antero-posterior single hip joint projection. https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781315382210/8ca82e7c-bd07-4171-b4f5-ebaded57b5b3/content/fig2_39a.jpg" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/>
The patient is positioned as described for the basic pelvis and basic bilateral hip projections (see page 164).
To avoid pelvic rotation, the anterior superior iliac spines must be positioned equidistant from the X-ray table top.
The affected limb is internally rotated to bring the femoral neck parallel to the table top, supported by sandbags if necessary.
