The L1 spino-pelvic (L1SP) angle: a simplified approach for the assessment of the PI-LL mismatch in hip surgery
The simplified L1SP method, through the measurement of a single angle, produced similar measurements to the conventional PI-LL method. The measurement repeatability between operators was improved using the L1SP method. From a clinical practice perspective, both methods are equivalent. The new method is readily reproducible using commercially available PACS software during preoperative templating.
