MATERIALS AND METHODS: We placed two Kirschner wires in eight femur specimens using an Antero-Posterior view, Löwenstein Lateral view and True Lateral view. (bvsalud.org)
RESULTS: When the Kirschner wire was placed in the center of the head using the Antero-Posterior and the True Lateral view, the accuracy of Antero-Posterior view was 0.9705 while the accuracy of True Lateral view and Löwenstein Lateral view was 1.1479 and 1.1584, respectively. (bvsalud.org)
When the Kirschner wire was placed superior on the Antero-Posterior and centrally on the True Lateral view, the accuracy of Antero-Posterior view was 0.9930 while the accuracy of True Lateral view and Löwenstein Lateral view was 1.1159 and 0.7224, respectively. (bvsalud.org)

Often, a posterior cruciate ligament injury occurs along with injuries to other structures in the knee, such as cartilage, other ligaments, and bone. (orthoinfo.org)
Although they will not show any injury to your posterior cruciate ligament, X-rays can show whether the ligament tore off a piece of bone when it was injured. (orthoinfo.org)
It attaches to the hip bone and to the linea aspera of the femur. (nifs.org)
The posterior (back), or traditional, approach involves the surgeon entering just behind the side of the hip bone. (mayoclinichealthsystem.org)

Trochanter4
The greater trochanter of the femur is a large, irregular, quadrilateral eminence and a part of the skeletal system. (wikipedia.org)
For example, psoas major and iliacus seem to be involved in external rotation of the femur because the lesser trochanter lines up with the other side of the muscle attachment more when the femur is externally rotated. (nfpt.com)

The anterior approach has been around as long as there have been total hip replacements, but the posterior approach has been dominant for the past 30 years, largely because it is easier and more versatile. (medscape.com)
