Case Discussion
Obturator oblique view is obtained on a supine patient with the injured side of the pelvis rotated anteriorly at 45°. The x-ray beam is directed vertically toward the affected hip.
It is useful to assess the obturator ring, anterior column (iliopectineal line), and posterior wall of the acetabulum.
