Abstract
The accuracy of the Dunlap method, as modified by Rippstein, for measuring the femoral neck angles was evaluated using adult bodies. The results were correlated to measurements on the dissected femurs. The Dunlap/Rippstein mehtod correlated well with the determinations made in the specimens. The accuracy of the method was within ±7 degrees for the anteversion angle and within −5 to +9 degrees for the head-neck-shaft angle.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
