    Figure 2

    (A) Sagittal slice of pelvic computed tomography (CT) image of the same patient showing coordinates of the right femoral heads. (B) Sagittal slice of pelvic CT with coordinates of the left femoral head. (C) (Changed) Midsagittal CT slice of the patient. The point with average coordinates of the femoral head center determines the midpoint of the hip axis.
