Objective: The normal morphology of femoral anteversion is an essential factor which determines the clinical results of hip replacement to achieve the normal activity and the length of the replaced joint. No previous study has been documented regarding normal value of femoral anteversion in Indonesian population and how they are different with Western, India and African population. This study aimed on measurement of normal femoral anteversion values of Indonesian population and compare it with existing data of Western, African and India values. Method: This cross-sectional study by measuring the femoral neck anteversion angle in 120 samples of Indonesians's cadaveric femur. Comparisons were made between Western, African and India. Result: The result showed that the average values of femoral neck anteversion angle in men were 11.60 ± 4.83 and 12.96 ± 5.1 in the right and left parts respectively, while in women, the results were 14.83+-5.14 and 13.37+-5.66 in right and left parts. The p value of ≤ 0.05 was considered to be significant. Conclusion: The mean femoral anteversion values of Indonesian population is 13.22. It is significantly different in comparison with Western, African, and Indian population.

Objective Based on the principle of uncemented stem design, the femoral anteversion in different CT planes before total hip arthroplasty (THA) and stem anteversion after THA was compared, so as to find out the preoperative measurement to estimate stem anteversion in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip(DDH) after THA. Methods Twenty-one primary THA patients (28 hips) who were diagnosed with DDH between September 2007 and May 2013 in Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine were selected. Preoperative and postoperative CT scans were performed on all patients. The femoral anteversion angle was defined as the angle between the midcortical line between the anterior and posterior cortical line in five CT slices and the posterior condylar axis. The slice levels for the 4 femoral sites were selected，including the area just distal to the femoral head, the center of the lesser trochanter，1 cm height above center of the lesser trochanter, 2 cm height above center of the lesser trochanter (marked as femoral anteversion 1-4). Femoral anteversion 5 was defined as the midcortical line of the anterior cortical line in the slice of 2 cm height above center of the lesser trochanter and the posterior cortical line in the slice of 50% of the distance from the top of greater trochanter to the center of the lesser trochanter above the center of the lesser trochanter. The stem anteversion angle was defined as the angle formed by the stem neck major axis and the posterior aspect of the femoral condylar line. The cup version and stem alignment were also calculated. The difference value and correlation coefficients of femoral anteversion 1-5 and stem anteversion were compared. Results Femoral anteversion 1-5 was 17.70°±10.54°, 35.59°±7.21°, 31.09°±7.98°, 24.71°±9.11°, 21.94°±10.10°, respectively。Stem anteversion was 20.52°±10.90°. The difference value between stem anteversion and femoral anteversion 1-5 was 2.82°±6.27°, -15.08°±7.99°, -13.80°±15.68°, -4.19°±5.69°, -1.42°±4.07°, respectively. Cup anteversion was 25.60°±11.65°, and combined antevertion was 46.11°±13.28°，sagittal stem tilt was 1.13°±1.53°. There were statistically significant differences between femoral anteversion 1-4 and stem anteversion (P＜0.05), and no statistical difference was found between femoral anteversion 5 and stem anteversion. The correlation coefficients of femoral anteversion 1-5 and stem anteversion were 0.829, 0.681, 0.689, 0.853, 0.928, respectively. Conclusions Femoral anteversion 5 had a highly positive correlation with stem anteversion, which was an effective a substitute of stem anteversion before THA.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the validity of physical examinations by assessment of correlation between physical examinations and CT measurements in children with intoeing gait and the causes of intoeing gait by age using CT measurements. METHOD: Twenty-six children with intoeing gait participated in this study. The internal and external hip rotation, thigh-foot angle and transmalleolar angle were measured. In addition, femoral anteversion and tibial torsion of the subjects were assessed using a CT scan. The measurements of torsional angles were performed twice by two raters. The correlation coefficients between physical examinations and CT measurements were calculated using Pearson correlation. The data was analyzed statistically using SPSS v12.0. RESULTS: The correlation coefficients between physical examinations and CT measurements were not high. Before 5 years of age, intoeing gait was caused by femoral anteversion in 17.86%, tibial torsion in 32.29% and the combination of causes in 35.71% of cases. After 6 years of age, the contributions changed to 29.17%, 8.33% and 45.83%, respectively. CONCLUSION: Before 5 years of age, the common cause of an intoeing gait was tibial torsion, whereas after 6 years of age it was femoral anteversion. Regardless of age, the most common cause of intoeing gait was a combination of causes. This study shows poor correlation between physical examinations and CT. Therefore, it is limiting to use physical examination only for evaluating the cause of intoeing gait in clinical practice.

Objective To explore the operative method and clinical effect of total hip arthroplasty with normal prosthesis in treatment of the advanced stage avascular necrosis of femoral head combined with severe femoral anteversion. Methods There were 15 patients ( 15 hips) including nine males and six females, at age range of 30-42 years (mean 37 years). The femoral anteversion was 40°-50° and Harris score of (59 ± 8) points. Total hip arthroplasty with normal prosthesis was performed to reduce the femoral anteversion for 20°-30° and increase the acetabulum anteversion for 10°-15°so as to recover a good involution relationship of the femoral head and the acetabulum and avoid anterior dislocation. The imaging examination and Harris scoring were performed regularly postoperatively. Results A follow-up for mean 2.9 years (2.5-3.7 years) in 15 patients showed that all patients obtained good range of joint motion and good stability of all the hip prostheses. Harris score was (88±6) points at 2 years post-opera-tively, which was significantly better than preoperation (P < 0.01 ). Conclusions Total hip arthro-plasty with normal prosthesis can obtain good involution of the femoral head and the acetabulum in patients with advanced stage avascular necrosis of femoral head combined with severe femoral anteversion by simul-taneously regulating implant angle of femoral prosthesis and acetabular cup, which helps avoid use of small or specially made femoral stem or subtrochanteric derotational osteotomy.

0OBJECTIVE: To investigate the mean values and correlations between the rotational profiles of bilateral lower extremities in Korean elderly men. METHOD: 100 lower extremities were examined for the rotational profiles of bilateral lower extremities with radiographic examination. RESULTS: The mean values of femoral anteversion, axial rotation of the knee joint, proximal and distal tibial torsion, bimalleolar axis (BMA), and Q angle were 8.72degrees, 0.19degrees, 34.53degrees, 26.25degrees, 20.97degrees, 5.65degrees. In Korean elderly men, the result of tibial torsion and Q angle was smaller than the results of other studies, and the bilateral differences were detected in the measured profiles of lower extremities, except axial rotation of the knee joint. However, all profiles represented a positive correlation between right and left lower extremities. The correlation between proximal tibial torsion and BMA had a positive correlation, But the femoral anteversion and tibial torsion had no correlations among the profiles in Korean elderly men. CONCLUSION: We suspected that Korean elderly healthy men have reduced tibial torsion and more genu varus alignment, and the rotational profiles of lower extremities showed side to side difference, but there were symmetrical tendency. It will be helpful in assessing the evaluation, treating, researching of the musculoskeletal problem in Korean elderly people.

PURPOSE: We investigated the reference line closer to the true femoral anteversion on only the cutting surface of the proximal femoral neck during the femoral stem insertion in cementless total hip arthroplasty. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A postoperative CT of both hips was taken to observe the positioning of the stem and its correlation with the true anteversion of the contralateral side of 33 consecutive patients after unilateral primary cementless total hip arthroplasty with avascular necrosis of the femoral head. We defined several parameters and measured the true anteversion on the contralateral side and the stem anteversion on the lesion side. RESULTS: The average of the midcortical angle was 13.9 degrees +/-6.8 degrees on the lesion side and 0.1 degrees +/-1.3 degrees less than the true anteversion on the contralateral side. CONCLUSION: The study has shown that anteversion using a midline between the anterior cortical line and the posterior cortical line is compatible with the true femoral anteversion.

The measurement of the femoral anteversion is an important factor in the practice of orthopedic surgery. The anteversion is measured by means of the axis of head and neck of the femur. In this study, widely used computed tomography method of measuring anteversion was tested on femoral necks of patients. Measurement by the manual method and image viewer of computed tomography to determine the anteversion of femoral head were carried out on both femurs. In January and February 2001, 30 patients 3 to 6 years of age were randomly selected from Seoul National University Hospital. The purpose of this paper was to introduce a new method to measure femoral anteversion angle utilizing image viewer program. This new method was more accurate and convenient than the conventional manual method. In conclusion, PACS of image viewer program was statistically more reliable in determining the angle of the femoral anteversion.

OBJECTIVE: The purposes of this study were to evaluate the causes of intoeing gait and to investigate the association between femoral anteversion and tibial torsion. METHODS: The subjects were 23 children with intoeing gait. The association between increased femoral anteversion and external torsion of the tibia was investigated by computed tomography and 3-dimensional computed tomography. The tibial torsion angle was measured by computed tomography. Femoral anteversion angle was measured by computed tomography and 3-dimensional computed tomography. RESULTS: The intoeing gait was caused by increased femoral anteversion in 67.4% of the cases, by internal tibial torsion in 21.7% and by other factors in 10.9%. There was a clear correlation between the degree of femoral anteversion and the degree of external torsion of the tibia. CONCLUSION: The results of this study indicate that most common cause of intoeing gait is increased femoral anteversion and that in cases of increased femoral anteversion, compensatory external torsion of the tibia develops during growth.

The authors designed a new biplanar method of measuring femoral anteversion, which may be considered a modified Magilligan's method. In addition to true A-P view, a true lateral view is taken, instead of trans-cervical lateral view in the Magilligan's technique. Acute angles(α and r) between the long axis of the femoral shaft and the femoral neck on both the A-P and lateral films are measured. The true angle (r1) of anteversion is calculated by substituting the values of tan(90-α) and tan (90-r) for the trigonometric formula tan r1 = tan(90-α)/tan(90-r). The measurement by the Magilligan's and the author's methods and the conventional CT method were compared with direct measurement for their accuracy in 20 sdult dried femora. Also correlativity among these three methods were analyzed clinically in 40 femora of 20 children. Following results were obtained, 1. Compared with the direct measurement, the Magilligan's, suthor's methods and CT method deviated an average of + 6.050 degrees, + 3.600 degrees and −1.150 degrees, respectively, all three being statistically accurate(p>0.05). The values for the latter two were closer to that of direct measurement. However, there was no statistical difference between the two. 2. The Magilligan's method overestimated in 95% and underestimated in 5% of the cases, and there was over-or under- estimation of less than 5 degrees in 20% and less than 10 degrees in 95%. The author's method overestimated in 70% and underestimated in 0% of the cases, and there was over-or under-estimation of less than 5 degrees in 55% and less than 10 degrees in 100%. The CT method overestimsted in 30% and underestimated in 60% of the cases, and there was over-or under-estimation of less than 5 degrees in 95 and less than 10 degrees in 100%. Both Magilligan's and autor's methods tended to overestimate and the CT method tended to underestimate(p<0.05). 3. The correlation coefficients among the Magilligan's and author's methods, the Magilligan's and CT methods, and author's and CT methods were 0.830, 0.592, 0.478 respectively, in clinical aspects. It is concluded that author's new method of biplanar measurement of femoral anteversion is more accurate than the Magilligan's method, while it is not less accurate than the conventional CT method.

Recently, the treatment principles of congenital dislocation of the hip has been altered markedly. The importance of concentric reduction and its maintenance during growth period in CDH has been stressed by many authors. Acetabular remodelling capacity has been argued between many authors, because it was critical criteria about the determination of operating period and methods. Authors selected 25 cases of congenital dislocation of the hip, which was treated by closed reduction, open reduction and femoral osteotomy to obtain concentric reduction of the hip. And we analyzed the change of acetabular angle and femoral anteversion in two group: Group 1-below 2 years and Group 2-from 2 years to 4 years old. The results were as follows: 1. The change of acetabular angle was improved markedly: average 15° in the Group I and average 13° in the Group 2 in 2 years. 2. The change of femoral anteversion in the Group I was markedly improved: average 15°, but, the in the Group 2 was not significant: average 6°. 3. It was thought that the perfomance of femoral osteotomy without innominate osteotomy in the Group 2, could achieve the satisfactory acetabular remodelling.

The angle of the femoral anteverison has been recognized as an important consideration in the orthopedic Geld. The angle of the femoral anteversion can be measured roentgenographically by 3 methods, such as fluoroscopic, biplanar and axial methods. It is the purpose of this study to investigate the comparative accuracy of the roentgenographic methods determining the angle of the femoral anteversion. The measurements by the fluoroscopic(Rogers), biplanar (Magilligan) and axial (Dunn) methods were compared with the direct measurement of 42 adult dried femora and the measured values were statistically analyzed. The results were as follows: l. Among fluoroscopic, biplanar and axial methods, the biplanar method using Magilligan technique was the statistically reliable method to determine the angle of the femoral anteversion. 2. The axial method showed tendency to underestimate the angle of the femoral anteversion. 3. Though the fluoroscopic method was not so accurate as the biplanar method statistically, the 2 methods showed no difference in the ratio of measurement error within ±5°and ±10° range.
