A direct method of measuring femoral anteversion using ultrasound.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 maximal difference between sides of six degrees. The expected rotational deformity of the femur was found in patients with unilateral intoeing.

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...
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 کاملUse of a Digital Protractor and a Spirit Level to Determine the Intraoperative Anteversion of Femoral Component during Cemented Hip Hemiarthroplasty: a Prospective Clinical Trial
Background: Femoral stem anteversion during hip arthroplasty is generally estimated by eye intraoperatively and hasproven to be different from targeted values. This study aims to determine the accuracy of a novel technique using adigital protractor and a spirit level to improve surgeons’ estimation of stem anteversion.Methods: A prospective non-randomized study was conducted a...
متن کاملA 45-degree radiographic method for measuring the neck shaft angle and anteversion of the femur: a pilot study.
PURPOSE To propose a novel method to measure the neck shaft angle and anteversion of the femur using anteroposterior and 45-degree oblique radiographs. METHODS Three human subjects were used to verify the 45-degree oblique method. The true neck shaft angle and anteversion of the femur were determined using computed tomography. The true values were compared with the values derived by the 45-de...

[Purpose] The aim of the study was to investigate the relationships between femoral anteversion and functional balance and postural control in children with spastic cerebral palsy. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty children with spastic cerebral palsy (mean age=12.4 ± 4.5) with grosss motor functional classification system levels I, II, and III were recruited for this study. Functional balance was ...
