title: The false profile arthrogram in developmental dysplasia of the hip.
abstract: Arthrography is useful in the evaluation and treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip. The authors describe the additional diagnostic value obtained from a "false profile" arthrogram. The "false profile" arthrogram allows assessment of anterior acetabulum cover, femoral neck anteversion and hip joint subluxation (instability), which may not be apparent on other views. (Hip International 2005; 15: 177-81).
