Femoral head-neck offset measurements in 339 subjects: distribution and implications for femoroacetabular impingement
Tóm tắt
The α-angle is a frequently used measurement to quantify head-neck offset pathology in cam-type femoroacetabular impingement. However, diverging norm values and reference intervals have been described, especially in men. The α-angle, the head-neck offset ratio and the triangular index were measured on anteroposterior and lateral radiographs of 339 (170 men and 169 women) subjects without evident underlying hip pathology. For male subjects, the mean α-angle was 49.4° (SD 10.5°) on anteroposterior and 49.1° (SD 10.6°) on lateral radiographs, whereas for female subjects, it was 45.0° (SD 8.0°) and 46.1° (SD 9.9°), respectively. Thus, calculated upper limits of reference intervals in the population screened were 70° for both radiographic projections in men and 61° (anteroposterior) and 66° (lateral) in women. These data substantiate recent findings that the pathological threshold of the α-angle in male subjects may be lower than that previously assumed. Diagnostic, Level III.
