Does femoral anteversion and internally rotated gait correlate in subjects with patellofemoral instability?

Proximal femoral derotation osteotomy for idiopathic excessive femoral anteversion and intoeing gait

AIM The purpose of this study is to assess the symptoms caused by excessive femoral anteversion and the outcomes of femoral derotation osteotomy. METHODS We reviewed data on patients who underwent proximal femoral derotation osteotomy for symptomatic intoeing gait caused by femoral anteversion. Only symptomatic patients were considered for corrective derotation osteotomy. Degree of femoral an...

Variation 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 ...

Variations In Femoral Anteversion And Tibial Torsion Influence Knee Alignment In Subjects With Knee Osteoarthritis

Ultrasound 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...

Femoral 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...
