Setting greater trochanter width and greater and lesser trochanter angles. a The figure shows the axial plane of 3D model of the femur. The two-headed arrows refer to the vertical distance between the anterior and posterior femoral greater trochanter projected in the axial plane. b In the coronal plane of the femur, the angle between the greater and lesser trochanter at the level of the lesser trochanter represents the greater and lesser trochanter (GLT) angle. This angle decreases as the apex of the greater trochanter moves medially
