Objectives: Radiographs are often performed to assess pelvic and hip parameters, but results depend upon correct pelvis positioning. Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction from biplanar-radiographs should provide parameters that are less sensitive to pelvic orientation, but this remained to be evaluated. Methods: Computerized-tomographic scans of six patients were used both as a reference and for generating simulated frontal and lateral radiographs. These simulated radiographs were generated while introducing axial rotations of the pelvis ranging from 0° to 20°. Simulated biplanar-radiographs were utilized by four operators, three times each, to perform pelvic 3D-reconstructions. These reconstructions were used to assess the trueness, precision and global uncertainty of radiological pelvic and hip parameters for each position. Results: In the neutral position, global uncertainty ranged between ± 2° for pelvic tilt and ± 9° for acetabular posterior sector angle and was mainly related to precision errors (ranging from 1.5° to 7°). With increasing axial rotation, global uncertainty increased and ranged between ± 5° for pelvic tilt and ± 11° for pelvic incidence, sacral slope and acetabular anterior sector angle, mainly due to precision errors. Conclusion: Radiological parameters obtained from 3D-reconstructions, based on biplanar-radiographs, are less sensitive to axial rotation compared to plain radiographs. However, the axial rotation should nonetheless not exceed 10°.
