REQUEIRO MOLINA, José et al. Methodology to measure cartilaginous stage from the radiographic point of view. Medisur [online]. 2017, vol.15, n.3, pp. 304-309. ISSN 1727-897X.

Some authors suggest that hip radiographic measurement in the cartilaginous stage is difficult by the non-visualization in the x-rays of the femoral head ossified nucleus, which compromises the exact determination of the relation between the femoral head and the acetabulum. This article describes the methodology for radiological evaluation of the hip with dysplastic development from the cartilaginous stage. For this, a simple anteroposterior pelvis radiograph was used in the cartilaginous stage, where the femoral head is not visible. The proposed methodology has as initial element the determination of reference points that are present from the newborn stage and on which measurements and angles are made. It allows to establish diagnostic groups and to provide follow up in time until curing the condition.
