The ilioischial line, also known as the Köhler line,isa radiologic feature seen in the AP pelvis view and serves to assess the posterior acetabular column 1-4.
The ilioischial line takes its course along the lateral border of the obturator foramen to the medial border of the iliac wing and passes through the acetabular teardrop in normal hip joints.
