This article focuses on long-term hip-pain rather than fractures (see X-ray of fractures).

Planning

Choice of investigation

Projectional radiography ("X-ray") of hip pain is the first imaging technique of choice, not only in older people with suspected osteoarthritis but also in young people without any such suspicion. In this case plain radiography allows categorization of normal anatomy versus hip dysplasia, or with impingement signs, pincer, cam, or a combination of both.[1]

Also consider the possibility of inguinal hernia.
