Summary

The orientation of the femoral neck in relation to the coronal or transcondylar axis of the distal femur is known as the femoral version. It is categorised as femoral anteversion when the femoral neck axis is anteriorly rotated in relation to transcondylar axis, while femoral head axis is anterior in relation to the femur coronal plane; or femoral retroversion when the femoral head-neck axis points are posterior to the femoral coronal plane.

Some studies suggest that conventional radiography cannot adequately measure femoral version, and should be avoided in favour of more precise methods using computed tomography (CT) scanning. CT imaging is currently the reference method for measuring femoral version. However, its clinical use is limited by issues such as high levels of radiation exposure, which can adversely affect patients, especially children. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is considered an alternative for measuring femoral version; however, it is expensive, time consuming and subject to motion artifacts. The associated costs and risks of MRI increase when anaesthesia is needed for the examination. The EOS imaging system could provide an alternative to the previously mentioned techniques. It uses lower doses of irradiation and the sterEOS software allows the production of 3D images.

This study aims to compare the accuracy of the EOS imaging system with CT for the measurement of hip parameters in individuals aged 13 years and older. In addition, this study aims to correlate EOS and CT parameters with gait analysis and compare the ability of EOS and CT to predict gait abnormalities.
