✦ Synopsis

A new biplanar method of measuring femoral anteversion, which may be considered a modified Magilligan's method, is described. In addition to the true antero-posterior radiograph, a true translateral radiograph is taken, instead of a transcervical lateral radiograph as in the Magilligan method. The acute angles (o~ and ~y) between the long axes of the shaft and neck of the femur on both the antero-lateral and lateral radiographs are measured. The angle (~") of anteversion is obtained by the trigonometric formula;

Femoral anteversion (AV) angles were determined by ultrasound and biplanar radiography in 63 children aged 3-11 years. With the patient supine, knees flexed 90 ~ and legs kept vertical, only one ultrasound scan of the proximal femur was needed. The anterior tangent of the femoral head and the greate

Both computed tomography (CT) and ultrasonography have been used successfully to estimate the femoral anteversion (AV) angle. In this study, AV angles in 20 human adult femurs were determined by ultrasonography and CT and the measurements compared. On CT the real AV angle was measured as the angle b
