Pelvic X-Ray Analysis - Rahul, 27Y Male | Metro Multispeciality Hospital, Jind | AP Pelvis, 27/11/2026
Here is a detailed review of both X-ray films:
Patient Details (from film label)
- Name: Rahul, 27 years old, Male
- View: AP Pelvis (Antero-Posterior)
- Hospital: Metro Multispeciality Hospital, Jind
- Date: 27/11/2026
Key Findings
1. Pelvic Ring
The pelvic ring appears structurally intact on this view. There is no obvious widening of the pubic symphysis or the sacroiliac (SI) joints, which are common signs of major pelvic disruption.
2. Hip Joints
Both femoral heads appear well-seated within their acetabular sockets. There are no signs of hip dislocation or subluxation on either side.
3. Fractures
No obvious displaced fractures are visible in the:
- Iliac wings
- Pubic rami
- Sacrum
- Femoral necks
4. Metallic Objects (Important Finding)
Three distinct bright white metallic objects are visible on both films:
- One overlying the left hip/iliac region
- Two centrally, over the sacrum/pelvic cavity
These most likely represent external clothing hardware (zipper pulls, belt buckles, metal snaps, or clothing clasps) that were not removed before the X-ray was taken. They do not appear to be internal surgical implants or retained foreign bodies, as they are not anchored to bone.
5. Note on Film Orientation
Both films are being held upside-down or mirrored - this is visible from the inverted text on the label. This does not affect the analysis but worth noting for proper clinical display.
Summary
No major fracture or dislocation is evident on these AP pelvic X-rays. The pelvis, sacroiliac joints, pubic symphysis, and both hip joints appear grossly intact.
Important Caution
- Subtle or non-displaced fractures (e.g., undisplaced pubic rami fractures, sacral fractures, acetabular fractures) can be missed on plain X-ray alone.
- If there was significant trauma or the patient has persistent pain, a CT scan of the pelvis is the gold standard for detecting hidden fractures.
