Measurement inaccuracies in X-ray planning of deformity correction using a new hexapod calibration device: an experimental approach with CT-correlation
When using X-ray planning, care must be taken if the bone is not centered in the reference ring. Measurement inaccuracies of up to 7-10% may occur. CTs give more accurate measurements regardless of the bone position. These findings should be taken into account if the limb cannot be centered in the reference ring of the hexapod system.
