X-ray Left Hip with Thigh LAT

What is an X-ray Left Femur (Thigh)-Hip LAT View Test?

An X-ray of the hip is a way to see clearly how the femur bones fit together in the hip joint. From the side view of the hip, you can tell if there is a broken hip bone, a dislocation, a misalignment of the bones, or a degenerative condition of the hip joint.

If you've been in an accident, broken your hip bone, or have a lot of hip pain, your doctor may tell you to get an X-ray of your left upper femur.

Why is it done? 

• To diagnose hip and femur fractures and monitor healing following setting.
• To detect infection, malformations, or abnormal bone growth.
• To diagnose hip dislocation.
