Morphometric Analysis of Acetabulum in South Indian Population

Background: Hip bone, also known as the innominate because it is formed by three independent elements during sub adult life and directly involved with child birth. The lateral surface of hip bone has a deep cup shaped acetabulum, bounded ridge rim acetabulum articulating femoral head. features are characteristic used for sexual dimorphism design prostheses in Total Arthroplasty. Materials Methods: Two hundred un paired acetabular part dry bones were collected this study (50 right male,50 left female 50 female) from Vinayaka Mission’s Kirupananda Variyar Medical College, Salem. This designed to measure Acetabulum transverse diameter, Superoinferior diameter Depth acetabulum. Statistical analysis been done using SPSS 21.0 software P values derived applying unpaired student T test. Results: In present study, mean value sided superoinferior among male shows 5.24 & 4.9, 5.99 5.30, 4.78, 2.60 2.43 respectively all higher males than females. 5.20 4.71,5.26 4.89 ,5.2 4.72 ,2.67 2.35 respectively. All parameters statistically significantly compared females (P <.0001), strong skeleton muscle mass these have minimal role formation birth canal. Conclusion: may be helpful radiologists diagnosing congenital dysplasia. For orthopaedic surgeons planning before surgery treatment joint fractures understand rarity primary osteoarthritis. relation between depth immense importance Orthopedicians Radiologists. KEY WORDS: Arthroplasty, Acetabulum.
