Results: FNA were measured in 48 hip, 6 hips had normal FNA, while 33 hips had larger FNA. Average is 19.21°. Conclusion: Abnormal FNA can lead to dislocation of femoral head. CT being simple and reliable is the method of choice for measuring FNA. So it is of great meanings to provide the conduct of the exact exercises of the ballet students.
