- The document provides an overview of radiological anatomy of the lower limb, including key bones and joints. - Key areas discussed include the pelvis, hip joint, knee joint, ankle joint, and foot. Important bones are labeled in diagrams for each area. - Common conditions affecting joints like osteoarthritis are also briefly discussed. Tests to examine specific joints are outlined, such as the Bryant's triangle examination of the hip.

13. BRYANT TRIANGLE - EXAMINATION
• The triangle should be marked on both the
sides and each side of the triangle is compared
with its counterpart on the normal side.
• The distance between the tip of greater
trochanter and the junction of 2 perpendiculars
i.e., base of the triangle measures supra-
trochanteric shortening.

14. BRYANT TRIANGLE - EXAMINATION
• This may occur due to shortening in neck or head of
femur, hip joint or dislocation of joint.
1. Dislocation of hip
2. Central fracture – dislocation of hip
3. Destruction of head or acetabulum or both
4. Fracture of the neck of femur
5. Coxa-vara deformity of the hip
6. Malunited intra-trochanteric fracture
