CT method enables standardized cover quantification in dysplasia; leaves open its role in clinical decision-making.
Does a new CT-based method accurately measure cover of the femoral head in normal and dysplastic hips?
A new CT-based method allows standardized measurement of femoral head cover, acetabular inclination, and anteversion, showing significantly less cover in dysplastic hips compared to normal hips.
Dandachli et al. (2008) studied this question.
