Anteroposterior radiograph of pelvis with both hip joints (a) showed widening of pubic symphysis, bilateral shallow acetabulum (white arrow), abnormal contour of bilateral femoral head with increased neck shaft angle (coxa valga deformity) (red arrow), enlarged and elongated bilateral greater trochanter, superolateral migration of bilateral femoral head overlying adjacent to iliac bones (green arrow), and slender proximal femoral shafts. CT of pelvis (b) confirming pubic diastasis, bilateral shallow acetabulum, bilateral coxa valga deformity, bilateral hip dislocation, and pseudoarticulation of the left femoral head with iliac bone.
