Abstract
This article describes a technical trick for obtaining appropriate imaging of the anterior column of the acetabulum when in the lateral decubitus position. Surgical fixation of acetabular fractures can be done in the supine, prone, or lateral decubitus position or a combination of these can be done depending on the fracture type, body habitus, and surgeon preference. Imaging of osseous corridors in the supine and prone positions have been well described, but imaging in the lateral position can be more difficult due to limitations in C-arm positioning. This article provides technical guidance for obtaining accurate orthogonal anterior column radiographs while in the lateral decubitus position.
