The true lateral (TL), neck-horizontal angle (NH), and the lesser trochanter profile (LTP) techniques performed similarly in correcting rotation of the fractured femur, but significantly more femurs were malrotated by >15° using the LTP technique. This supports preferential use of the TL or NH methods for determining femoral version intraoperatively.
