Overview
What is X - Ray Right Hip Joint AP & LAT View?
X-Ray Right Hip Joint AP & LAT View is used to find a fracture and early diagnose recurrent hip issues, such as osteoarthritis. The hip joint may be imaged from a variety of angles. An anteroposterior (AP) picture and a lateral (LAT) image are often included in a conventional hip X-ray examination. The AP picture should ideally show both hip joints (which technically makes it a pelvic X-ray) compared with the other hip.
The lateral direction can be chosen for frog-leg lateral images. Other radiographic views can offer a more comprehensive image of the patient's anatomy, allowing physicians to check hidden fractures that are specifically displaced and may not be visible on the AP or lateral views.
Why is X - Ray Right Hip Joint AP & LAT View done?
- To diagnose any fracture of the bones that form the hip joint and to monitor the healing of the broken bone, after it has been set.
- To detect any infection, osteoporosis, deformities or abnormal growth of the bones.
- To diagnose any suspected osteoarthritis or dislocation of the hip joint.

Frequently Asked Questions about X - Ray Right Hip Joint AP & LAT View
Q. What are the drawbacks of a bone X-ray?
X-ray images give a very clear view of the bones. However, it does not provide a good visual image of the soft tissues like tendons, muscles or fat tissue under the skin. Even the bone microfractures or complicated spine injuries are not clearly visible on the X Ray images. Apart from this, it also exposes the patient to some amount of radiations but the benefit of the information gained from an X-ray image outweighs the risk of radiations.
Q. Who interprets the X-ray results?
The interpretation of an X-Ray image is carried out by a radiologist who analyses or reads the X-ray image and prepares a report of the findings which is shared with the patient.
