This 37 year old male presented to the Emergency Department after falling off a chair onto his left hip. He was referred for left hip radiography.
There is a subtle left neck of femur cortical disruption (arrowed)
Notes
- absence of gonad protection noted
On enlargement, there is a suggestion of associated trabecular discontinuity. This lateral hip projection was performed with a modified rolled lateral hip (Friedman Method). There is a neck of femur cortical step (arrowed) associated with a neck of femur fracture.
Notes
- the femur is not rolled completely into a lateral.
- this modified rolled lateral hip method cannot normally be performed in patients who actually have symptomatic neck of femur fractures.
