Comparison of Valgus Correction Angle between Patients with Developmental Dysplasia Hip and Normal Volunteers Measured by Three-Dimensional Reconstruction and X-Ray

Figure 2

The upper VCA and the lower VCA on the 3D reconstruction model. (a) 3D reconstruction model of femur. (b) Point E: the center of the cortical bone of intercondylar notch in the most distal cross-section. Point F: the center of the femoral head point G: the center point of femoral neck isthmus. Point H: the midpoint of distal one-third femoral length. (c) The angle between the femoral mechanical axis (line a) and femoral anatomical axis (line b) is the upper VCA. (d) The angle between the femoral mechanical axis (line a) and the distal femur anatomical axis (line c) is the lower VCA.
