Abstract
Introduction: Lower limbs anatomical and biomechanical parameters are essential in several paediatric orthopaedic disease, which makes their exact measurement necessary. Aim: The aim of the author was to evaluate the reliability of the EOS 2D/3D System, a 3D reconstruction capable imaging device in children. Method: 3D reconstructions were performed in 523 cases aged between 2 and 16 years in whom no abnormality influencing lower limbs biomechanics was observed. For statistical analysis intraclass correlation, paired-samples t-test, Spearman-correlation and Welch-test were used. Results: Excellent results were found for all parameters in reliability test used by the operator. The step-forward position used during the examination influenced the sagittal tibiofemoral angle only. All examined parameters showed significant correlation with age and gender. Height correlated with neck-shaft angle, hip-knee shift, femoral and tibial torsion only. Conclusions: The EOS technology proved to be an appropriate method to measure lower limbs anatomical parameters in children. Changes in these parameters during development correlated with age and gender. Orv., Hetil., 2014, 155(43), 1701–1711.
