Abstract:

Objectives: The aim of study is to evaluate the new method in terms of reliability and validity in comparison with other commonly used radiological methods against CT evaluation.

Results: Average CT measurement was 23.28 for anteversion.We found our method had good correlation with CT calculation with average variability of +/_ 3.91380 in planar anteversionand CT methods had excellent intra and inter observer reliability (C.I. = 0.884 to 0.947&0.866 to 0.963).
