The popliteal surface axis may define hip anteversion

Accuracy of Combined Anteversion in the Combined Anteversion Technique with Image-free Navigated Total Hip Arthroplasty

In recent literatures dealing with optimization of prosthetic alignment in total hip arthroplasty (THA), the concept of combined anteversion (CA), which is the sum of acetabular anteversion (AV) and femoral antetorsion (AT), has been addressed. Widmer attempted to determine the optimal CA using a computer simulation study . He proposed the “new safe zone” for the CA value to achieve essential r...

The combined anteversion technique for acetabular component anteversion.

The combined anteversion technique for acetabular component placement of total hip arthroplasty is beneficial because of the surgeons' limited ability to control the anteversion of a cementless femoral stem. Our data show that the cementless stem anteversion can be 15 degrees different than anticipated. By determining femoral stem anteversion before positioning cup anteversion, the cup antevers...

Anteversion of the femoral neck in congenital dislocation of the hip.

A ten year follow-up study was made of 107 hips of 97 patients to find if derotation osteotomy affected the growth of the hip joint. The anteversion angles before and after treatment were measured in four groups classified according to treatment method: Pavlik harness, frog plaster, Colonna operation and derotation osteotomy. The difference in the angle was greatest in the derotation osteotomy ...

A Useful Reference Guide for the Stem Anteversion During Total Hip Arthroplasty in the Dysplastic Femur

The use of computerised tomography in dislocation of the hip and femoral neck anteversion in children.

Computerised tomography is useful in the diagnosis of abnormalities of the hip in children, particularly in assessing the size and shape of the acetabulum, the position and congruity of the femoral head relative to the acetabulum, and the degree of femoral anteversion or retroversion. It is most useful when limited hip movement and previous operations preclude adequate clinical examination and ...
