Abstract
35 patients with a smooth, threaded acetabular Mecron type prosthesis were examined with the aid of a table top with wiremarkers and a fixed 30-degree wedge to allow for reproducible positioning. Under fluorosc opic control, pelvic and spot films were made. The inter- and intraobs erver variability of anteversion and inclination angle measurements of the prostheses had a standard deviation of less than 1 degree. The me thod can be applied to other acetabular prostheses as well.
