title: Femoral torsion: CT measurement.
abstract: We report a new method using computed tomography (CT) to measure femoral torsion more accurately in patients with cerebral palsy. The method involves CT scanning through the femoral head, the femoral neck at the region of the greater trochanter, and the femoral condyle.
