A member asked:
What does it mean if an x-ray of the hip shows the left femoral head displaced more lateral with a wider space between the head and medial acetabulum?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The wording suggests there is fluid separating the head of the femur from its slot in the hip. What this means in a given case is best interpreted by the doc who knows the complete history/exam and other test findings.
