A direct method of measuring femoral anteversion using ultrasound.
The measurements of the angle of anteversion of the femoral neck by ultrasound scanning is described. The method was compared with direct measurement in 30 dried femora, and was then used in 18 normal volunteers and eight patients. The method is non-invasive, accurate and easily applicable. Findings in normal subjects included variation of the angle of anteversion from 10 to 34 degrees with a m...
متن کاملUltrasound Assessment of Femoral Anteversion
A method ofmeasuring femoral neck anteversion using a static B scanner has been described (Moulton and Upadhyay 1982). This study used dried femora in a waterbath and the results obtained were confirmed by direct measurement. Although the experimental scans were performed under direct vision it was assumed that the method would be accurate in vivo where similar images can only be obtained using...
متن کاملUltrasound measurement of femoral anteversion.
In a recent article by Lausten, J#{248}rgensen and Boesen (1989) anteversion (AV) of the femoral neck was measured directly, by ultrasound, and by computerised tomography (CT). The authors reported poor correlation between the angles measured by ultrasound and the two other methods, and concluded that ultrasound at present seemed unsuitable for the measurement of femoral anteversion. We believe...
متن کاملVariation in Femoral Anteversion
Femoral anteversion has recently gained popularity in research in light of its practical applications in hip replacement surgery. Previously, surgeons would estimate the placement of a prosthetic femoral neck by standards based on homogenous populations of Caucasian males. This research project seeks to correct this bias by exploring the variation in femoral anteversion by sex, ethnicity, body ...
متن کاملFemoral bowing plane adaptation to femoral anteversion
BACKGROUND Femoral bowing plane (FBP) is the unattended subject in the literature. More over the femoral shaft with its bowing is neglected in established anteversion determination methods. There is limited information about the relationship between FBP and anteversion. Thus we focused on this subject and hypothesized that there could be an adaptation of FBP to anteversion. MATERIALS AND METH...
