The author suggests percussion of both anterior-upper axes of the iliac bones in a patient in a supine position for early recognition of coxitis. In the initial stages of the disease, percussion on the diseased side, due to depletion of bones with calcium salts, produces a less muffled tone than on the healthy side.
