Key result
Horizontal lateral roentgenography of the hip in children provided interesting diagnostic observations, though the small volume of work precluded statistical validation.
Why the study?
Does horizontal lateral roentgenography improve the diagnostic evaluation of hip pathology in children compared to standard views?
Does horizontal lateral roentgenography improve the diagnostic evaluation of hip pathology in children compared to standard views?
Horizontal lateral roentgenography provides additional diagnostic value over standard views for pediatric hip conditions.
Horizontal lateral views may improve pediatric hip assessment; leaves open validation in larger cohorts.
The anteroposterior view and the lateral view made with the patient in the "frog-leg" position are not a complete examination of the hip joint. 2. Horizontal lateral roentgenograms of the hip in children, in conjunction with other views, offer a more comprehensive method of investigation in the diagnosis and treatment of pathological conditions of the hip. 3. While no statistically valid data may be drawn from the present small volume of work, interesting observations have been made in roentgenography of congenital dislocation of the hip, Legg-Perthes disease, and slipped capital femoral epiphysis.
