In an attempt to reduce patient positioning errors, the authors tested the use of a new hip-specific positioning tool, OsteoDyne's Hip Positioner System (HPS). The HPS is an "A" frame splint designed to abduct both legs approximately 15°to hold them in full extension at the hips and knees and to lock the feet in a neutral position. Seventy volunteer women aged 35-82 years were randomly assigned in two age-matched groups (mean age 56 years). Each group underwent two consecutive femur dual X-ray absorptiometry (
