  • Title: Lack of correlation between femoral neck anteversion and acetabular orientation. Radiography and computed tomography in cadavers and in vivo.
    Author: Høiseth A, Reikerås O, Fønstelien E.
    Journal: Acta Orthop Scand; 1989 Feb; 60(1):93-6. PubMed ID: 2929305.
    Abstract:
    Radiography and computed tomography measurements were made of femoral neck anteversion, femoral head cartilage distribution, and the orientation of the acetabulum. The measurements were made in elderly cadaver femurs and in patients. They failed to establish any correlation between the femoral neck anteversion and the orientation of the articulating surface of the femoral head, nor between the femoral neck anteversion and the angles of the acetabulum.
