Effects of pelvic obliquity and limb position on radiographic leg length discrepancy measurement: a Sawbones model

Effects of pelvic obliquity and limb position on radiographic leg length discrepancy measurement: a Sawbones model

Abstract Purpose Potential sources of inaccuracy in leg length discrepancy (LLD) measurements commonly arise due to postural malalignment during radiograph acquisition. Preoperative planning techniques for total hip arthroplasty (THA) are particularly susceptible to this inaccuracy, as they often re...
