The alpha angle was defined as the acute angle between Lines AB and BD. Line AB was formed by connecting Point B (the center of the femoral head) with Point A (the point where the cortical surface of the head-neck junction first exited a perfect circle drawn around an ideally spherical femoral head); Line BD represented the neck axis. Similarly, the beta angle was defined as the acute angle between Lines BC and BD.
