Sixteen joints were operated on. The patients were 3-15 years of age. Femoral torsion according to Ruwe was clinically determined in all the patients; also, our own method for determining the clinical and roentgenogrammetric parameters of the hip joint (utility model patent No. 137567) was used.</p> <p><strong>Results. </strong>Our own method is simple, available and cheap; it may be used in all medical institutions with X-ray rooms for the diagnosis of hip joint pathology, as well as for screening.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions. </strong>Our own method is simple and reliable for determining the parameters of the hip joint in patients with cerebral palsy (femoral torsion, neck shaft angle, Wiberg’s angle, Reimer’s index, vertical migration index, acetabular angle, the angle of inclination of the acetabulum) in patients with cerebral palsy. Obtaining radiographic parameters of both hip joints after only one radiograph also significantly reduce the radiation load on the patient, since patients with cerebral palsy are the subject of screening throughout the entire period of their development. This method can be also applied during the examination and screening the patients with developmental disorders and other diseases of the hip joint.</p&gt;}, number={4(107)}, journal={TERRA ORTHOPAEDICA}, author={Hoshko, V.Yu. and Naumenko, N.O. and Yatsuliak, M.B. and Cheverda, A.I. and Nemesh, M.M. and Martsyniak, S.M.}, year={2020}, month={Dec.}, pages={35-42} }
