Abstract

Some radiographic aspects in the preoperative measurement of prosthetic component size in cementless total hip arthroplasty were evaluated, primarily the magnification factor of the x rays. The influence of femoral rotation on the assessment of the pre- and postoperative AP x rays was investigated.
