Leg length and offset following hip resurfacing and hip replacement.

We measured and compared critical parameters on antero-posterior radiographs from 28 patients who had undergone hybrid hip replacement (CPS/EPF), with 28 patients who had undergone cemented hip resurfacing (Cormet). All operations were performed by a single surgeon or under his supervision. We measured the femoral offset, acetabular offset, cup height and leg length on pre and post operative radiographs.
