Measurement of telescoping and femoral neck shaft angle changes. Immediate postoperative AP view (a and c) and last follow-up (postoperative 12 months) AP view (b and d). Telescoping = measured telescoping (a′) × true blade length/measured blade length (b′) − measured telescoping (a) × true blade length/measured blade length (b). The femoral neck shaft angle change = α° − β°. Measurement of the femoral NSA from DXA scan printouts
