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
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 a
The degree of femoral anteversion in a group of obese adolescent children and a group of adolescent children of normal weight was determined by either magnetic resonance imaging or computerized axial tomography. Compared with the children of normal weight, the obese children showed a significantly r
