Influence of leg-length discrepancy on anterior acetabular coverage using false profile image
2015
Background
Leg-length discrepancy (LLD) occurs commonly in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the hip. Although some investigators argue that LLD in a weight-bearing position may influence lateral acetabular coverage, there have been no reports on the influence of LLD on anterior acetabular coverage and the relationship between LLD and vertical center anterior margin (VCA) angle before and after LLD correction. Anterior acetabular coverage is an important index for diagnosis, treatment, and surgery for OA of the hip. Therefore, we investigated the influence of LLD in a weight-bearing position on VCA angle.
