"The AP hip is part of a radiographic series examining the anatomy of the hip joint and proximal femur."
"This view helps to visualise any potential fractures, dislocations, bone lesions or degenerative diseases to the hip joint. It is also often requested in post-operative examinations evaluating the placement of existing orthopaedic devices. However, certain departments may favour the AP pelvis as it allows comparisons of both hips instead of unilaterally."
