Template:Hip pain - 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]
Alternatively, consider the possibility of inguinal hernia.
