Radiology of the Pelvis:
- Internal (Obturator) Oblique View:
- shows iliopectineal line
anterior column of pelvis &
posterior wall;
- pt is supine w/ involved side of pelvis rotated anteriorly 45 deg & beam directed
vertically toward affected hip;
- External (Iliac) Oblique View:
- shows ilioischial line (
posterior) column &
anterior wall;
- pt is supine w/ uninvolved side of pelvis rotated ant. 45 degrees;
- central beam directed vertically toward the affected hip
- intra-operative flourscopy: it may be difficult to achieve optimal flouroscopy views if the C-arm
is placed on the same side as the fracture;
- rotating the injured side to a lower position may improve the view;
