"The AP pelvis view is part of a pelvic series examining the iliac crest, sacrum, proximal femur, pubis, ischium and the great pelvic ring."
"This view is of considerable importance in the management of severely injured patients presenting to emergency departments 1. It helps to assess joint dislocations and fractures (i.e. iliopectineal line, ilioischial line, Shenton line) in the trauma setting, as well as, bone lesions and degenerative diseases. A properly aligned AP pelvis view is imperative in the assessment of early hip degeneration, in particular for the assessment of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and hip dysplasia 3."
"lower limbs are internally rotated 15-25° from the hip (do not attempt this if a fracture is suspected) to demonstrate an AP view of the proximal femur"
