Abstract:
A profound knowledge of physiologic lower limb alignment is essential to understand deformities and to plan surgical correction.

The advantage of computed tomography (CT) is that its cutting-edge image technique can visualize the femur condyles. Study purpose was to determine if the CT-scout view has the potential to replace the standing radiograph.We compared the geometric data obtained...     »
