Figures & data
Figure 1. Preoperative anterior-posterior and lateral radiographs of a 60-year-old male patient who sustained a Garden I–II femoral neck fracture. The posterior tilt is measured as the angle (α) between the mid-collum line (MCL) and the radius collum line (RCL), which is drawn from the center (c) of the caput circle to the crossing of the caput circle and the mid-collum line.
