An X-Ray Right Hip Joint (AP View) is a diagnostic imaging test that captures an Anteroposterior (AP) view of the right hip joint. In this view, the X-ray beam travels from front to back of the hip area, providing a clear image of the hip joint, femoral head, acetabulum (hip socket), and surrounding bony structures.

Purpose of X-Ray Right Hip Joint (AP):

This test helps in diagnosing:

• Fractures or dislocations of the hip
• Arthritis or degenerative joint disease
• Hip pain or stiffness
• Bone infections (osteomyelitis)
• Tumors or abnormal bone growths
• Congenital deformities or hip dysplasia
