M. Davies, K. Johnson and R. Whitehouse. The hip joint and the bony pelvis are anatomical structures that are subject to f requent and various disease processes. Radiologists, orthopedic surgeons, and rheumatologists are confronted in their daily practice with many of these conditions. Due to the continuous progress in diagnostic imaging modalities and new insights into the pathophysiology and biomechanics of the hip joint and bony pelvis there is a need for regular updates of our knowledge in this fi eld. The concept of this book is based on a comprehensive coverage of both the imaging modalities and the applications of all these techniques to a specifi c anatomic area and all the pathologic conditions related to it. The short preparation period of this volume – less than 15 months – ensures, as in the other volumes on musculoskeletal radiology in this series edited by A. M. Davies, that the most recent advances of hip joint and bony pelvis imaging are included. I am greatly indebted to the three editors for their brilliant editorial work and their superb personal contributions. I congratulate them on their judicious choice of contributing authors, all well-known and internationally recognized experts in the fi eld. I am convinced that this excellent volume will be of great interest for radiologists in training and certifi ed radiologists, and also for orthopedic surgeons and rheumatolo- gists. It is my sincere wish that this work meets the same success as so many other volumes previously published in the series Medical Radiology – Diagnostic Imaging. Leuven Albert L. Baert Contents VII Preface As our understanding of the disease processes and the biomechanics of the hip joint and bony pelvis improves, there is a need to continuously update radiologists, orthopaedic surgeons and other professionals working in this fi eld. This book, in common with sev- eral others published in this series, takes a dual approach to the subject. The fi rst section acquaints the reader with the full range of techniques available for imaging the hip joint and musculoskeletal pelvic pathology, emphasizing the indications and contraindications. The six chapters include contributions on radiography, computed tomography and CT arthrography, magnetic resonance imaging and MR arthrography, ultrasound, nuclear medicine and interventional techniques. The remaining 18 chapters discuss the optimal application of these techniques to specifi c pathologies, highlighting practical solutions to both common and uncommon clinical problems. The discerning reader may note a few minor contradictions in the text (recommended gauge of needle, volume of contrast medium, use or not of local anaesthetics for arthrog- raphy, etc.) refl ecting the different practices of the authors. The editors have deliberately not edited out these inconsistencies, thereby allowing the reader to appreciate that, even between centres of excellence, practices can and will vary. The editors are grateful to the international panel of authors for their contributions to this book, which aims to provide a comprehensive overview of current imaging of the hip joint and musculoskeletal pelvis.

The femoral heads, which should be equal in size and position, should be well seen through the acetabula. Fractures, dislocations, osseous lesions and degenerative changes are demonstrated.

The first technique requires the central ray to be directed perpendicularly to the symphysis pubis to detect any lateral or superior displacement of the femoral head. The second tech- nique is obtained with the central ray directed to the symphysis pubis at a cephalic angulation of 45° which will demonstrate anterior or posterior dis- placement of the femoral head. 1.2.2 AP Axial Projection of the Pelvis (Frogleg–Cleaves or Modified Cleaves Method) b Fig. 1.1. a Patient positioning for anteroposterior (AP) pelvic This position is contraindicated in patients sus- radiograph. b AP pelvic radiograph pected of having a fracture, dislocation of the hip.
