Figure 5.

(a) Bar chart showing the preoperative resting position of 10 hips that did not undergo preoperative traction. The first column is the standard departmental radiograph and the second column is the comparative film under GA but before any surgery. The red section is IHDI Grade IV hips and amber is for the Grade III hip. There is no change in the position on any hip, thus excluding the effect of GA on the cohort of hips that had preoperative traction in this study, (b) this is illustrated, and (c) with no difference seen. This should be compared to Figure 3, where the difference in resting hip position after traction is clear.
