Birmingham Royal Orthopaedic Hospital (BROH) Femoral Offset—An Ancillary Measure of Adult Dysplasia of the Hip

Abstract

Introduction Adult dysplasia of the hip (ADH) is a disorder of abnormal development of the hip joint resulting in a shallow acetabulum and uncovering of the femoral head. Several radiological measurements such as the Tönnis angle (acetabular index), lateral center edge angle of Wiberg, and cross-sectional imaging parameters exist to calculate hip dysplasia.
