Femoral anteversion was measured by computed tomography (CT) in 40 children with cerebral palsy, however an accurate measurement was possible in only 59 of the 80 hips. Flat-surface measurement of anteversion was possible in 72 of 80 hips by CT, and in 36 of 40 hips by ultrasound. A high neck-shaft angle correlated with an inability to measure anteversion by CT. Measuring by ultrasound allowed subjects to be positioned in internal rotation and in this way accurate measurements of neck-shaft angles were obtained.
