Purpose: To compare lateral center-edge angle (LCEA) and Tönnis angle (TA) values measured in radiographs and computed tomography (CT) scans with commercially available software and to determine the degree of concurrence in the classification of acetabular dysplasia as depicted in radiographs and CT scans.

Methods: Retrospectively collected data from patients undergoing preoperative CT protocol and x-rays for hip arthroscopy from June 2019 to December 2021. The preoperative anteroposterior supine view of the pelvis was utilized to measure LCEA and TA, and measurements were compared to CT scan views through commercially available software.

Introduction Femoral torsion is an important anatomical consideration of the hip that has major implications on the natural motion of the hip joint. Similarly, it affects pathologic conditions of the hip, including femoroacetabular impingement, dysplasia, and/or microinstability. Femoral torsion is typically measured on two-dimensional (2D) axial CT cuts by creating the angle between the femoral neck and the posterior aspect of the ipsilateral femoral condyles.

Background: Increased attention has been directed toward the acetabular morphology in the management of patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS). Whether acetabular version influences patient-reported outcomes remains poorly understood.

Purpose: To use computed tomography (CT)-based 3-dimensional (3D) bone models to (1) quantify acetabular version in patients with FAIS, (2) compare acetabular version on 3D bone models with current plain radiographic parameters, and (3) explore the relationship between the magnitude of acetabular version and minimum 2-year clinical outcomes after hip arthroscopy.

Background: Sex-specific quantification of cam morphology in patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome may improve diagnostics, surgical planning, and outcomes.

Purpose: To (1) examine differences between men and women with symptomatic cam deformities based on deformity location, magnitude, and extent; (2) assess the association between cam deformity and labral pathology; and (3) evaluate the relationship between cam deformity and patient-reported outcome measures after hip arthroscopy.

Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.

Background: Accurate assessment of osseous morphology is imperative in the evaluation of patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) and hip dysplasia. Through use of computed tomography (CT), 3-dimensional (3D) reconstructed hip models may provide a more precise measurement for overcoverage and undercoverage and aid in the interpretation of 2-dimensional radiographs obtained in the clinical setting.

Purpose: To describe new measures of acetabular coverage based on 3D-reconstructed CT scan bone models.
