X-ray Right Femur-LAT View

What is an X-ray Right Femur (Lateral View) Test?

The lateral view of the femur is part of a standard series that looks at the whole femur, including the hip and knee joints. 

Why is it done? 

This view shows the femur in a different position from the AP view. This makes it possible to check for possible dislocations, fractures, foreign bodies, and osteomyelitis in the long bones and to figure out where they are. Depending on the department, this view can help orthopedic surgeons figure out the length of the femur, which is needed for prosthetics.
