SLOB
Shenton's line: The femoral neck and the pubis form a graceful arch. You can visualize an egg shape extending the line on both sides. The neck shaft angle (~ 120 degrees) will look flat if not seen side -on. This is commonly misidentified as 'valgus'. It isn't. In the inset the leg simply has been rotated from the best neck-shaft viewing projection.
