Table 3.

Measurements of femurs according to classification of Hartofilakidis et al.*

Parameter C1 Mean ± SD (mm) C2 Mean ± SD (mm) p Value
Height of dislocation (mm) 42.9 ± 12.0 62.0 ± 17.1 < 0.001
Femoral height (mm) 46.0 ± 8.9 45.2 ± 8.8 0.746
Height of greater trochanter (mm) 50.4 ± 6.9 58.3 ± 5.1 < 0.001
Discrepancy between height of greater trochanter and femoral head center* (mm) 5.0 ± 12.0 13.2 ± 11.3 0.020

* Types C1 and C2 hips (AP view).

Values are expressed as mean ± SD; *the value is positive when the tip of the greater trochanter is higher than the femoral head center.
