    Shenton's line is a smooth curvilinear line along the ilium and onto the femoral neck and superior obturator border. An interruption of this line can indicate a femoral dislocation or fracture of the lower extremity. Maintaining the continuity of Shenton's line is important for proper hip and leg function.
