Sphericity of the femoral head on anterior-posterior radiographs of dysplastic hips.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We analyzed the sphericity of the femoral head of dysplastic hips. Using standard anterior-posterior radiographs of the hips, we assessed the femoral head's deviation from a spherical shape using a computer algorithm and via Severin grading. The method presented could serve as a useful tool to quantify differences in sphericity in cases where it is difficult to grade the hip radiologically.

The acetabulum in Perthes’ disease: a prospective study of 123 children
PURPOSE We assessed the radiographic changes of the acetabulum during the course of Perthes' disease and investigated whether they were associated with femoral head sphericity 5 years after diagnosis. METHODS We studied 123 children with unilateral Perthes' disease, femoral head necrosis more than 50 % and age at diagnosis 6 years or older. Pelvic radiographs were taken at onset, 1 year and 5...
متن کاملTotal Hip Arthroplasty with Modular Stem for Dysplastic Hips in South Asian Population
Introduction: Optimum component positioning and orientation is required to optimize the functional result during total hip arthroplasty for dysplastic hips. Patients and methods: Sixty-two patients (66 hips) including 33 males and 29 females underwent total hip arthroplasty using modular stem prosthesis at an average age of 40.6 years (range 17 to 49 years). Nineteen hips were clas...
متن کاملFactors which affect the progression of osteoarthritis after rotational acetabular osteotomy.
We have investigated the factors which affect the progression of osteoarthritis after rotational acetabular osteotomy (RAO). Between 1984 and 1998, we treated 60 dysplastic hips by RAO. The mean age at surgery was 31.6 years (13 to 51) and the mean period of follow-up was 4.6 years (2 to 9.5). The thickness of the articular cartilage on the weight-bearing area, pre- and postoperative acetabular...
متن کاملThree-dimensional Assessment of Femoral Head Coverage in Normal and Dysplastic Hips: A Novel Method.
The acetabular coverage of the femoral head has been assessed in two-dimensions as the projected covered area or the covered angle on plain radiographs. We present a novel method of the three-dimensional assessment of femoral head coverage obtained by evaluating the covered volume of the femoral head in both normal and dysplastic hips. We also assessed the covered angles on the vertical slices ...
متن کاملThree-dimensional computed tomography of the hip in the assessment of femoroacetabular impingement.
Femoroacetabular impingement secondary to the cam effect is thought to be associated with an insufficient anterior concavity in the sagittal/axial plane of the femoral head-neck junction. Using three-dimensional computed tomography the anterior and posterior concavity of the femoral head-neck junction was assessed in 36 painful non-dysplastic hips (30 patients). The mean age of the symptomatic ...
