This line must be continuous along the diaphysis of the femur and ramus of the pubis
Shenton’s line
Line that runs along the superior boarded of the femoral neck
Klein’s line
View done with 15 degrees of internal femoral rotation to check for femoral neck fracture

Wards triangle
This view is used evaluation for femoral neck fracture and in a pediatric hip
