Measurements of hip parameters. The CE angle was defined as the angle between the vertical line and the lateral edge of the acetabulum. The Sharp angle was defined as the line connecting the bilateral teardrops and the lateral edge of the acetabulum. MJS was defined as the narrowest point from the lateral edge of the acetabulum and fovea. Limb length discrepancy was calculated as the perpendicular distance from the line connecting the bilateral teardrops to the center of each lesser trochanter. Limb length discrepancy was defined as the length of the right side (D1) minus that of the left side (D2) and recorded as an absolute value. CE center edge, MJS minimum joint space
