ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To compare radiographic parameters of acetabular morphology between standard and modified false-profile (FP) radiographs.METHODS:
Standard and modified FP radiographs were obtained in 225 hips in 200 consecutive patients evaluated for hip pain and suspected femoroacetabular impingement. Radiographs were retrospectively reviewed by 2 readers to determine the anterior center-edge angle (ACEA), as assessed to the sourcil and to the bone edge. Inter-rater reliability of radiographic measurements was assessed using the intraclass correlation coefficient. Measurements were evaluated for normality with the Shapiro-Wilk test, averaged between the 2 readers, and compared between views using the paired Wilcoxon test.RESULTS:
The intraclass correlation coefficient values for standard and modified FP views were 0.923 and 0.932, respectively, measuring to the sourcil and 0.867 and 0.896, respectively, measuring to the lateral bone edge. The median difference in ACEA measurements to the sourcil was 1° between the standard and modified FP view (45° vs 44°, P < .001). The median difference in ACEA measurements to the bone edge was 2° (34° vs 32°, P < .001).CONCLUSIONS:
Thirty-five degrees of femoral internal rotation for a modified FP hip radiographic view provides similar clinical information regarding acetabular morphology to that of the standard FP view. Given that the modified FP view also provides better visualization of the anterosuperior head-neck junction cam lesion, the modified FP view may be preferred over the standard FP view in evaluation of hip pain in the young patient. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, retrospective comparative study.
