X-ray Pelvis Lateral

Lateral hip X-ray is a method to examine and evaluate the hip joint and surrounding structures in more detail in a different angle than straight X-ray.

Indications:
§ Hip pain: pain of unknown origin.
§ Trauma: determine the extent and location of injury.
§ Changes in joint structure: such as osteoarthritis, or dislocation.
§ Post-operative examination: assess the condition after orthopedic surgery.

Contraindications:
§ Pregnant women: especially in the first three months.
§ Children: limit unless necessary.
§ People who cannot maintain a lateral position: due to pain or limited mobility.

Scanning procedure:
1. Preparation before scanning: The patient needs to remove jewelry or metal objects on the body.
2. Perform the scan:
- Lying on the side: the patient will lie on the scanning table, the upper leg slightly bent forward to maintain balance.
- Relaxation instructions: to ensure no movement during the scan, breathe evenly and keep still.
3. Evaluate the results: the X-ray image must be clear, not obscured by structures around the hip joint.

In summary, lateral hip X-rays can provide more detailed images than straight X-rays, when combined can help doctors accurately identify and evaluate the condition of the hip joint.
