Abstract:
In a method for determining the angle of anteversion and/or the angle of inclination of an acetabulum in a pelvic bone, in order to achieve a simplification, a method is proposed, wherein prominent points on the pelvic bone are non-invasively determined, these prominent points are joined by an individual plane, and this individual plane is respectively rotated through predetermined, specific angular magnitudes for the angle of inclination and the angle of anteversion, respectively, and the angle between the rotated individual plane and a main plane of the pelvic bone is determined in order to determine the angle of inclination and the angle of anteversion.
