Mar 23, 2023 · The oblique internal and external pelvis views otherwise known as the Judet view are additional projections to the pelvic series when there is suspicion of an acetabular fracture.

Mar 23, 2023 · The pelvis series examines the main pelvic ring, obturator foramina, sacroiliac joints, symphysis pubis, acetabulum, sacral foramina, and the proximal femur. The AP pelvis has a diagnostic yield of ~94% in severely injured patients 2,3. See an approach to the pelvic radiograph. Indications

Judet views demonstrate: acetabular roof; medial and lateral acetabular wall; anterior and posterior acetabular wall; ileopectinal line; obturator foramen; sacroiliac joints; provides additional information to the surgeon pre and postoperatively

Mar 23, 2023 · This particular view is perpendicular to the pelvic rim, allowing for assessment of any suspected narrowing or widening of that rim. Additionally, it is used to assess the anterior-posterior displacement of pubic rami fractures.

Obturator oblique view is obtained on a supine patient with the injured side of the pelvis rotated anteriorly at 45°. The x-ray beam is directed vertically toward the affected hip. It is useful to assess the obturator ring, anterior column (iliopectineal line), and posterior wall of the acetabulum.

Mar 23, 2023 · Patient position. patient is supine or standing 2,3; lower limbs are internally rotated 15-25° from the hip (do not attempt this if a fracture is suspected) to demonstrate an AP view of the proximal femur; Technical factors. AP projection ; centering point. the midpoint of the anterior superior iliac spine and the pubic symphysis collimation

Mar 23, 2023 · The anteroposterior outlet view is a specialized view part of a pelvic series examining the iliac crest, sacrum, proximal femur, pubis, ischium and the great pelvic ring.

Jan 12, 2024 · The flamingo view series of the pelvis is a specialized orthopedic series consisting of three separate pelvis projections consisting of a neutral, left foot raised and right foot raised view. Normal total translational motion at the pubic symphysis between alternate leg views is 2-5 mm, with greater motion seen in multiparous women (3.1 +/- 1.5 ...

Nov 27, 2024 · After diagnosis, oblique pelvic views (Judet views) may be used for follow up. These include: iliac oblique view for the posterior pelvic column and anterior acetabular wall. obturator oblique view for the anterior pelvic column and posterior acetabular wall. CT

The Judet and Letournel system for acetabular fractures is the most widely used classification system in clinical practice. It classifies fracture based on oblique pelvic view on plain radiographs. Additional classification systems include: AO/OTA classification of acetabular fractures
