X Ray
- Radiographic imaging is important in diagnosis, classification, treatment and follow-up assessment of neck of femur fracture.
- The routine minimal evaluation for neck of femur fracture must include two views - anteroposterior view of the hip and pelvis and a cross-table lateral view.
- X ray findings include:[1][2][3][4]
Anteroposterior View
- Fracture line is present on the superior aspect of the femoral neck on the tensile surface.
- Fracture line on the inferior surface indicate compression fracture.
Lateral View
- Posteromedial fracture lines are visualized.
