DOI: 10.1002/jor.23455
Abstract: Identifying native femoral version from proximal femoral landmarks would be of benefit both for preoperative assessment as well as intraoperatively. To identify potential markers for femoral anteversion, an empirical framework was developed for orientation‐independent analysis… read more here.
