“…Ultrasound compared well to CT [9] and biplane radiography (femur) [10] during studies of dry bones or on MRI of patients [7]. In vitro and in vivo reliability has been reported to be good to excellent in a comparison of ultrasound to anatomical measures made following dissection and small differences were reported (0.5-1.58) [11].…”

“…One of the methods using the position of external rotation in greater trochanter of the femur as a physical examination is not meaningful due to the very low accuracy [ 5 ]. The plane radiography has several errors resulting in low accuracy and reliability [ 6 7 ]. Other approaches such as ultrasound [ 7 ], magnetic resonance imaging [ 8 ], fluoroscopy were attempted as well, but their examination procedures are too complicated, and the reliability and usefulness cannot yet be verified.…”

ObjectiveTo assess the intra-rater and inter-rater reliability for measuring femoral anteversion angle (FAA) by a radiographic method using three-dimensional computed tomography reconstruction (3D-CT).MethodsThe study included 82 children who presented with intoeing gait. 3D-CT data taken between 2006 and 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. FAA was measured by 3D-CT. FAA is defined as the angle between the long axis of the femur neck and condylar axis of the distal femur. FAA measurement was performed twice at both lower extremities by each rater. The intra-rater and inter-rater reliability were calculated by intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).ResultsOne hundred and sixty-four lower limbs of 82 children (31 boys and 51 girls, 6.3±3.2 years old) were included. The ICCs of intra-rater measurement for the angle of femoral neck axis (NA) were 0.89 for rater A and 0.96 for rater B, and those of condylar axis (CA) were 0.99 for rater A and 0.99 for rater B, respectively. The ICC of inter-rater measurement for the angle of NA was 0.89 and that of CA was 0.92. By each rater, the ICCs of the intrarater measurement for FAA were 0.97 for rater A and 0.95 for rater B, respectively and the ICC of the inter-rater measurement for FAA was 0.89.ConclusionThe 3D-CT measures for FAA are reliable within individual raters and between different raters. The 3D-CT measures of FAA can be a useful method for accurate diagnosis and follow-up of femoral anteversion.

“…Ultrasound has been used to measure femoral torsion for more than twenty years and has demonstrated good results compared with biplanar radiographs or computed tomography [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] . Miller et al 14 studied torsion in twenty-four dried femora with use of ultrasound over the anterior flat surface, the region just distal to the intertrochanteric line.…”
