Abstract

Accurate femoral-acetabular relationship was not possible until the advent of the computed tomography scan. Computed tomography scan allows visualization and measurement of femoral torsion, femoral head contour, soft tissue and bony impingements on the femoral head, acetabular configuration and femoral-acetabular relationship.
