Editorial Commentary: Low-Dose Hip Computed Tomography Sharpens the Saw for Hip Preservation: Can It Cut the Tree?

Research Paper: Anthropometric Study of Hip Joint in Tehran Population Using Computed Tomography Scan

Introduction: Anthropometric studies provide valuable information in different populations. This study was conducted to evaluate the anatomical variations of the normal hip joint among Tehran population, Iran, in comparison with other populations. Methods: This study was carried out on hip joint of 260 patients in all ages and both genders referred to the Department of Radiology at Ebn-e Sina ...

Minimal-Dose Computed Tomography for Measurement of Cup Orientation in Total Hip Arthroplasty

Introduction: Accurate assessment of cup orientation is important for evaluation of outcome after total hip arthroplasty (THA). The orientation is clinically described as a combination of inclination angle and version angle. Measurements of these angles based on plane radiographs are inaccurate, because no solution exists for perfect positioning of the pelvis, as Liaw(1) stated. Computed tomogr...

Computed tomography-based surgical navigation for hip arthroplasty.

Component malpositioning and postoperative leg length discrepancy are the most common technical problems associated with total hip arthroplasty (THA). Surgical navigation offers the potential to reduce the incidence of these problems. We reviewed 317 patients (344 hips) that underwent THA using computed tomography-based surgical navigation, including 112 THAs using a simplified method of measur...

Reliability of two-dimensional computed tomography for measuring hip anatomy.

PURPOSE To evaluate the reliability (inter- and intra-observer variability) of 4 hip anatomies using 2-dimensional pelvic computed tomography (CT). METHODS Two-dimensional pelvic CT of 10 men and 10 women aged 33 to 89 (mean, 69) years presenting with non-orthopaedic conditions within one month were evaluated by 3 observers. The centre-edge angle of Wiberg, the Sharp angle, the acetabular dep...
