Continuous variables were present as median (Q25, Q75). Wilcoxon rank test for continuous variables and χ2 test for categorical variables. Axial computed tomography slice passing through the geometric center of the femoral heads, showing the plane of the ischial spine on both sides and the vertical distance from the central point of the common femoral artery to the skin surface.
