|---|---|
| AP Pelvis | -CR 2 inches inferior to ASIS -rotate legs in 15-20 degrees -14x17 crosswise |
| AP Pelvis Bilateral Frog-leg (Modified Cleaves Method) | -CR 3 inches below ASIS -flex both knees about 90 degrees and abduct both femurs 45 degrees from vertical |
| AP Axial "outlet" | -CR 2 inches distal to greater trochanters -angle 30 degrees cephalad |
| AP Axial "inlet" | -CR at level of ASIS -angle 40 degrees caudal |
| Judet Method Posterior Acetabulum | -CR 2 inches distal and 2 inches medial to downside ASIS -45 degree turn, position for affected side down for the anterior rim |
| Judet Method Anterior Acetabulum | -CR 2 inches distal to the upside ASIS -45 degree turn, position for affected side up for the posterior rim |
| AP Hip | -CR to femoral neck (1-2 medial and 3-4 inches distal to ASIS) -rotate affected leg internally 15-20 degrees |
