A new method of measuring the femoral anteversion and neck-shaft angles.
A new and simple method for measuring the femoral anteversion and neck-shaft angles, based on descriptive geometric principles, is described. Its technique and geometrical analysis are also analysed. The results have proved to be very accurate. Graphs have been prepared from which one can readily determine the anteversion and neck-shaft angles, once the projected angulations have been measured.
