Total hip arthroplasty (THA) stands as a reliable and effective way to manage end-stage hip
disease secondary to a number of aetiologic conditions. While target 'safe zones' are widely …

Background The knowledge of proximal femur geometry is essential in the understanding
and treatment of hip pathologies. Our aim is to evaluate the range of “normal anatomical …

Purpose Pelvic morphology dictates the alignment and biomechanics of the spine. Recent
observations in different types of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis indicate that individual …

Purpose This in vitro biomechanical study compares residual lumbar range of motion (ROM)
and rod strain after lumbopelvic instrumentation using 2 rods, 4 rods and interbody cages …

Purpose The pelvic incidence (PI) is used to describe the sagittal spino-pelvic alignment. In
previous studies, radiographs were used, leading to less accuracy in establishing the three …

Bracing is the most common treatment to stop the progression of adolescent idiopathic
scoliosis. Finite element modeling could help improve brace design, but model validation is …

Methods to reconstruct anatomical structures in 3D are gaining interest in medicine because
they give access to quantitative information on the patient's geometry. However, these …

Aim To determine a valid and reliable neck–shaft angle (NSA) measurement method while
rotating the pelvises in increments of 5° in order to simulate patient malpositioning. Materials …

Introduction Pelvic rotation (PR) on preoperative radiograph templating can affect various
critical measured acetabular angles and potentially outcomes of successful total hip …

This study was designed specifically to determine the normal acetabular orientation and
femoral head covering, and whether these are affected by age or sex. Computed …
