Femur fractures are among the most serious types of bone injuries. The femur, commonly known as the thigh bone, is the longest and strongest bone in the human body. When this bone breaks, it often requires immediate medical attention and accurate imaging for diagnosis. At Diagnopein, we use advanced X-ray technology, including Anteroposterior (AP) and Lateral (LAT) views, to identify and assess femur shaft fractures with precision.
A femur shaft fracture refers to a break in the long, straight part of the thigh bone. This kind of fracture is commonly caused by high-impact trauma such as road accidents, sports injuries, or serious falls. It is a medical emergency that needs quick and accurate diagnosis to avoid long-term complications.
At Diagnopein, our experienced radiologists and technicians use high-resolution X-ray imaging to detect the exact location and nature of the fracture.
The symptoms of a femur fracture are usually very obvious and painful. Patients may experience:
These signs demand immediate attention and imaging to confirm the diagnosis.
Imaging is the first and most important step in femur fracture diagnosis. At Diagnopein Diagnostic Centres, we use advanced X-radiography techniques to get clear and accurate images. The two main views used for femur fracture imaging are:
This is the front-facing view of the femur. It helps in identifying:
The AP view is essential in evaluating how the bone has shifted or broken from a frontal angle.
This side view of the femur complements the AP view by showing:
Together, the AP and LAT X-rays provide a complete picture of the bone and allow doctors to plan treatment accordingly.
Diagnopein is equipped with state-of-the-art digital X-ray machines and a highly skilled team of technicians and radiologists. With centers across major cities, our labs are known for:
Whether it is an X-ray for a knee joint injury or a complete femur fracture scan, Diagnopein ensures fast, clear, and reliable results.
Recovery from a femur fracture can be long and requires consistent care. Most patients need:
Our imaging services also help in femur fracture recovery by tracking the bone healing over time through repeat AP and LAT views.
While not all femur fractures can be avoided, especially in accidents, some steps can reduce the risk:
At Diagnopein, we also offer preventive checkups and digital imaging to detect minor issues before they become major problems.
In addition to femur fractures, our diagnostic centers offer X-rays for various other needs like:
Our radiology team ensures all X-rays are performed with minimal radiation and maximum clarity.
