Using a 3D transverse plane, the center of the femoral head was identified by using annotation software to generate concentric circles of best fit and superimpose these onto the femoral head (Figure 2a).

Determination of the axis of the femoral neck. (a) Transverse plane of the proximal femur where “gt” is the great trochanter and “hc” is the center of the femoral head. (b) Transverse plane of the proximal femur on the level of the lesser trochanter where “lt” is the lesser trochanter and “nc” is the center of the base of the femur neck.
