Measurement
Description
CCDThe CCD angle was measured as the angle between the femur neck and shaft axis[23]
Pelvic obliquityThe pelvic obliquity was measured with a tangential line from the apex of the femoral heads and a line parallel to the horizontal plane as in Figure 1
Sharps angleSharp’s angle was measured with a line connecting the inferior ischial tuberosities and a line connecting the lower medial edge of the acetabular teardrop and the lateral edge of acetabular sourcil[23]
LCEAThe LCEA was measured as a perpendicular line through the center of the femoral head perpendicular to the acetabular tuberosities and the angle between a line from the center of the femoral head to the lateral acetabular sourcil[24]
Extrusion indexThe extrusion index was measured by the difference of medial and lateral femoral head and the lateral edge sourcil with three vertical lines at edge aspect. The femoral head coverage was represented by the percentage of femoral head covered: Lateral femoral head to lateral edge sourcil distance minus the total horizontal head diameter[23]
Tönnis angleThe Tönnis angle was measured as the angle between a line connecting the inferior and lateral aspects of the acetabular sourcil and a line connecting the inferior portion of the ischial tuberosities[12]
