Frontal pelvic x-ray was performed with the patient positioned in dorsal decubitus, with parallel extended thighs and knees flexed in 90o, at the edge of the x-ray table (Figure 3). In order to determine the femoral neck anteversion, the ** Rippstein- Müller ** position was used: hips remained flexed at 90o, with abduc- tion of 15o and legs strictly in parallel from each other and to the plane of exam table. Such parallelism is important, as well as the vertical position of the femur in a perpendicular plane to the table, because it was from this plane that the projection of the posterior surface of the femoral condyles appeared in parallel to the x-ray lower edge(9). In order to facilitate, and in order to obtain standard- ized x-rays, a proper instrument was used, which maintained the thighs and legs angles steady. That instrument was built using a cursor to adjust variable distances of the hips, as well as to adjust the length of the thighs (Figures 4a and 4b). The collection provided the following data: gender; age; race; ROR; RIR; ROR+RIR; RA; LOR; LIR; LOR+LIR, and; LA. For the statistical analysis, the verification on data distribution normality or abnormality was firstly performed by the proof “An analysis of variance test for normality”. Such test indicated that the distribution did not comply with normality curve. In view of those results, nonparametric methods were applied. With the purpose of checking the existence or not of significant correlations among rotation measurements and anteversion angles, the Spearman’s Correlation Coefficient by Posts was applied to the data. With the purpose of comparing inward and outward rotations in the same side, the Wilcoxon test was applied to the values series, combined in pairs. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 38 mins (2007-02-14 20:28:11 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?pid=S1413-78522005000400003&... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 39 mins (2007-02-14 20:29:04 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Rippstein appears to be the name of the ** originator ** of the method and hence, as Ingeborg mentioned, the particular type of X-ray. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 40 mins (2007-02-14 20:29:50 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I see this on Google as ** Rippstein-Müller ** position. |
