Hip & Pelvis
. In Judet views of the pelvis, the right obturator oblique view shows?
Explanation
ExplanationJudet views of the pelvis are: Obturator oblique, where the obturator foramen on that side is parallel to the X-ray cassette, by elevating the pelvis on that side, and shows the posterior wall and anterior column of the elevated acetabulum (mnemonic: OOPWAC – Obturator Oblique Posterior Wall Anterior Column), but not the sacroiliac joint so well; and Iliac oblique, where the pelvis on that side is rotated so that the iliac wing is parallel to the X-ray cassette and the obturator foramen now lies perpendicular to the film, showing the anterior wall and posterior column.
