Effects of lower limb and pelvic pin positions on leg length and offset measurement errors in experimental total hip arthroplasty

Effects of lower limb and pelvic pin positions on leg length and offset measurement errors in experimental total hip arthroplasty

Abstract Background Leg length (LL) and offset (OS) are important factors in total hip arthroplasty (THA). Because most LL and OS callipers used in THA depend on fixed points on the pelvis and the femur, limb position could affect measurement error. This study was conducted on a THA simulator to cla...
