Abstract
A smooth, congruous, femoral head located in a well-formed acetabulum is a prerequisite for a normally functioning and developing hip joint. Hip arthrography is a valuable diagnostic tool for outlining the cartilaginous femoral head and its relationship to the cartilaginous and bony acetabulum. The procedure is easily performed and diagnostically important in many orthopedic diseases. The adductor approach has several distinct advantages which are stressed in this report.
