title: Radiographic assessment of acetabular prosthesis anteversion: an experimental study.
abstract: Two trigonometric methods used to assess acetabular cup orientation radiographically derive the angle of anteversion differently and yielded statistically significantly different results when compared using a laboratory model of the pelvis. The need for standardisation is suggested.
