Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Method of Estimating Adduction and Abduction of the Leg in Hip Disease
Of course it is not assumed that the anterior superior epines are the same distance apart as the acetabula, but the practical centre of motion of the leg in adduction and abduction is not at the acetabu lum but outside of it, as can easily be seen in the skeleton. This is of course on account of the angle that the shaft makes with the neck of the femur. So far as could be determined. It was well enough represented by saying that it was in the lines of the anterior superior Spines. The only inaccuracy likely to be caused by this, would be possibly in the adult female pelvis where the ?are was extreme and even here the error would be small and of little account.
