Why the study?
Does the use of standing versus supine radiographs affect hip stability measurements in patients with dysplastic hips?
Does the use of standing versus supine radiographs affect hip stability measurements in patients with dysplastic hips?
Surgeons may benefit from having both supine and standing radiographs when planning surgical correction of hip dysplasia due to significant measurement variations.
Variations between supine and standing views leave optimal hip dysplasia imaging protocols open; prospective validation studies required.
The significant variation in PT and AC between supine and standing radiographs suggests that it may benefit surgeons to have both radiographs when planning surgical correction of hip dysplasia. We also recommend using PACS-derived measurements of AI and SA due to the poor interobserver error on Hip2Norm. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2021;103-B(11):1662-1668.
