Shenton's line is a useful roentgenometric assessment for femoral displacement. It is drawn from the medial aspect of the femoral head to the superior border of the obturator foramen and can help detect femoral head displacement (such as in hip dysplasia) or fractures. Skinner's line is used to assess for slipped capital femoral epiphysis, Ullmann's line is used for evaluating hip dysplasia, and Chamberlain's line is used for assessing craniovertebral junction anomalies.
