The Hilgenreiner line (also known as Y-line2 or teardrop line3) is a line drawn horizontally through the inferior portion of the iliac bones at the triradiate cartilages. This equates to drawing a line through the triradiate cartilages and pushing it cranially until it touches the iliac bone on both sides.
