Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the anterior center-edge angle (ACEA) and lateral center-edge angle (LCEA) and crossover ratio. Consecutive patients presenting for evaluation of hip pain were reviewed. The following measurements were recorded and analyzed: Crossover ratio, LCEA, ACEA, and alpha-angle. 68 patients met inclusion criteria. The only statistically significant radiographic measurement when stratified by gender was alpha angle (<i>P</i> < 0.001). There was moderate correlation between crossover ratio and ACEA and LCEA with coefficients of -0.48 and -0.48, respectively. A correlation exists between crossover ratio and ACEA and LCEA.
