This study investigated a reference line that is closer to the true femoral anteversion on only the cutting surface of the proximal femoral neck during a femoral stem insertion in a cementless total hip arthroplasty. A postoperative computed tomography of both hips from 33 consecutive patients after a unilateral primary cementless total hip arthroplasty with an avascular necrosis of the femoral head was taken to observe the positioning of the stem and its correlation with the true anteversion of the contralateral side. The average of the midcortical angle was 14.1° ± 6.8° on the lesion side and 0.1° ± 1.3° more than the true anteversion on the contralateral side. This study has shown that anteversion using a midcortical line between the anterior cortical line and the posterior cortical line is compatible with the true femoral anteversion. However, further investigation is required to confirm the true femoral anteversion.
