Anatomical and radiological correlation of Lequesne's false profile

Lequesne introduced a radiological projection, which is an oblique view of the edge of the acetabulum, to diagnose arthrosis affecting the anterior part of the joint and to measure the anterior coverage of the femoral head. In this study, we attempted to determine the anatomical correlation of his t...

Description
Summary:Lequesne introduced a radiological projection, which is an oblique view of the edge of the acetabulum, to diagnose arthrosis affecting the anterior part of the joint and to measure the anterior coverage of the femoral head. In this study, we attempted to determine the anatomical correlation of his technique. Fifteen in vitro hemipelvises underwent radiography according to Lequesne's description, using metallic markers and wires to mark physical landmarks. According to geometric laws, the points used by Lequesne do not correlate anatomically. Although Lequesne's technique allows a diagnosis of acetabular dysplasia, measurements are on average 5.5 degrees less than those made anatomically.
