RADIOGRAPHY EXAMINATION PROCEDURE OF PELVIC IN PATIENT WITH CLINICAL FEMORAL NECK FRACTURE IN RADIOLOGY INSTALLATION OF PKU MUHAMMADIYAH GOMBONG HOSPITALSulkhi Annisatul Quthwah 1) Rini Indrati 2)ABSTRACT According to Bontrager (2018), projections used to see abnormalities in the area of the proximal femur bone, among others projections AP Unilateral Hip, Axiolateral Inferosuperior, and additional projections Unilateral Frog-leg and Modified Axiolateral, while in the Radiology Installation of PKU Muhammadiyah Gombong Hospital in patient with clinical femoral neck fracture performed using pelvic AP projection. This study aims to determine the radiographic examination procedureof pelvic in patient with clinical femoral neck fractures in Radiology Installation of PKU Muhammadiyah Gombong Hospital and the reason is done using of pelvic AP projection. This study is a qualitative research with a case study approach.
