Simple A/P X-rays were used to sign on them by marking on axis of head and Neack also on body axis of femur.  The angle between two axes were measured by roller and goniometer. The results of linear regression and multivariation are analysed by paired t-test and these results were obtained:   1- Mean of N/S angle regardless of sex for normal cases was 130.85 ˚ and for CDH cases was 130.87 ˚ .   2- N/S angle regardless of sex, by increasing of age was significantly decreased.   3- Mean of N/S angle in Female cases was 129.4 3˚ and in male cases was 131.99˚.   4- Mean of antiversion angles in normal cases was 23.03˚ and in CDH cases was 36.11˚.
