Abstract
Our geometric measurement method of the acetabular inclination angle enabled us to calculate the lateral and anterior opening angles, which were very close to the corresponding anatomical measurements. This method allows three-dimensional evaluation of the anatomical structure of the hip and may be useful in predicting progression of coxarthrosis by measuring the femoral neck shaft and anteversion angles.
