Figure 1

FP radiographs of different pelvic rotations are shown in (a–c). ACEA is measured in a FP radiograph at 65°of rotation (b). Investigated the “appropriate range of positioning” where the distance-to-diameter ratio is between 0.67 (a: 68.1°of rotation) and 1.0 (c: 63.2°of rotation). The arrows indicate the distance between the femoral heads and the femoral head diameter. ACEA Anterior center edge angle, FP False profile.
