Objective: To compare the existence of agreement between measurements of anteversion of the femoral neck and the degrees of osteoarthritis and abnormality of the neck-shaft angle in patients with unilateral idiopathic hip osteoarthritis, among three evaluators.
Methods: Forty-two patients with unilateral hip osteoarthritis were evaluated by means of simple radiography and computed tomography.
Results: It was observed that there was no significant variation in femoral anteversion between the diseased and healthy hips.
Unlabelled: To analyze anatomical variations of the proximal end of femur that could cause a femoroacetabular impact.
Methods: 199 skeletically mature anatomical specimens of femurs were used. The femurs were measured in order to determine the anteversion angle of the femoral neck, neckshaft angle, sphericity of the femoral head at anteroposterior and superoinferior, angle between epiphysis and the anterior femoral neck, angle between epiphysis and the neck at lateral plane, anteroposterior distance at 5mm of the head and neck junction and anteroposterior distance of the neck base.
