Book Hip X-Ray Appointment

A hip X-ray provides detailed visualization of the hip joint, including the femoral head, acetabulum, femoral neck, and surrounding pelvic structures. It is the essential first-line imaging study for hip pain, groin pain, and suspected fractures, offering rapid assessment of bone integrity, joint space, and alignment. At DCDC in Dubai Healthcare City, our digital hip X-ray system delivers high-resolution images that enable accurate diagnosis and surgical planning.

Hip fractures are among the most serious orthopedic injuries, particularly in elderly patients with osteoporosis. A dedicated hip X-ray includes the AP pelvis view for bilateral comparison plus lateral views of the affected hip (cross-table lateral or frog-leg lateral) that provide detailed assessment of the femoral neck and head. Femoral neck fractures, intertrochanteric fractures, and subtrochanteric fractures each have different treatment implications, making accurate X-ray classification essential for surgical planning.

Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head, also known as osteonecrosis, is a condition where the blood supply to the femoral head is disrupted, leading to bone death and eventual joint collapse. Early-stage AVN may not be visible on X-ray, but as the disease progresses, X-ray reveals increased bone density (sclerosis), crescent sign (subchondral fracture), femoral head flattening, and secondary osteoarthritis. MRI is more sensitive for early detection, but X-ray is essential for staging and monitoring progression.
