Abstract
The measurements of the angle of anteversion of the femoral neck by ultrasound scanning is described. The method was compared with direct measurement in 30 dried femora, and was then used in 18 normal volunteers and eight patients. The method is non-invasive, accurate and easily applicable. Findings in normal subjects included variation of the angle of anteversion from 10 to 34 degrees with a maximal difference between sides of six degrees. The expected rotational deformity of the femur was found in patients with unilateral intoeing.
