Angle formé par l'intersection de l'axe du col du fémur et le plan bicondylien qui, en principe, est parallèle à la table d'examen et au bord inférieur du film. Il ne faut considérer comme franchement pathologique que les chiffres supérieurs à 25 °. Plus rarement, l'angle peut s'inverser, lorsque l'axe du col est oblique en dedans, en arrière et en haut : c'est alors la rétroversion du col du fémur. 2, record 2, French, - angle%20d%27ant%C3%A9version%20du%20col%20f%C3%A9moral
