Abstract
In previous chapters, we defined deformity components and divided them into angulation, rotation, translation, and length. Angulation and rotation are angular deformities, measured in degrees. Translation and length are displacement deformities, measured in distance units (e.g., millimeters, inches, etc.). In Chap.9, we discussed how angulation (axis in the transverse [x−y] plane) and rotation (axial [z] axis) deformities can be resolved three-dimensionally and characterized by a single vector (ACA) inclined out of the transverse plane (characterized by x,y,z coordinates). Similarly, translation (displacement in the transverse plane) and length (displacement axially) can be combined into a single displacement vector inclined out of the transverse plane (characterized by x,y,z coordinates).
