Fig. 5From: Accuracy and practicability of a patient-specific guide using acetabular superolateral rim during THA in Crowe II/III DDH patients: a retrospective studySamples from our patients. a The preoperative X-ray of patient 1: a 32-year-old female diagnosed with the Crow type III DDH of the left hip. b The postoperative X-ray of patient 1 (2 days after surgery): the designed inclination was 45° (left), whereas the anteversion was 15° (left). The postoperative inclination was 48.3° (left), whereas the anteversion was 18.4° (left). c The postoperative X-ray of patient 1 (3 months after surgery): the acetabular components appeared radiologically stable. d The preoperative X-ray of patient 2: a 51-year-old female diagnosed with the Crow type II DDH on both sides of the hips. e The postoperative X-ray of patient 2 (4 days after surgery): the designed inclination values were 46° (left) and 45° (right), whereas the anteversion values were 10° (left) and 18° (right). The postoperative inclination values were 48.7° (left) and 41.8° (right), whereas the anteversion values were 7° (left) and 21.6° (right). f The postoperative X-ray of patient 2 (3 months after surgery): the acetabular components appeared radiologically stableBack to article page
