Background. The choice of pelvic reconstruction technique in children with developmental dysplasia the hip (DDH) has been subject discussion for many years and is often determined by personal preferences a surgeon rather than X-ray anatomical state acetabulum. variants its anatomy structure have still not reflected available scientific literature.

Purpose: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent joint disease with an estimated prevalence of 8% in general population. Hip morphology has been marked as important risk factor for development hip OA. One types thought to increase OA pincer morphology, which overcoverage femoral head by acetabulum. The may result neck impinging against acetabulum during motion and possibly creating intra-arti...

We conducted a study on dried cadaveric pelvic bones to determine the relation between acetabular diameter and thickness of the acetabular wall. The acetabulum was divided into four quadrants: antero-superior, postero-superior, postero-inferior, and antero-inferior. The diameters of the acetabulum were measured for 152 pelvic bones. The thickness of the center of the acetabulum was measured wit...

Three-dimensional surface models of the normal hemipelvis derived from volumetric CT data on 42 patients were used to determine the radius, depth and orientation of the native acetabulum. A sphere fitted to the lunate surface and a plane matched to the acetabular rim were used to calculate the radius, depth and anatomical orientation of the acetabulum. For the 22 females the mean acetabular abd...

The transverse acetabulum ligament (TAL) has been used as an intraoperative anatomical landmark to position the acetabulum cup in total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, the validity of the use of TAL has not been clarified. The purpose of this study was to examine the orientation of the cup component aligned with the TAL in cadaveric study. The 31 hips in 25 whole-body embalmed cadavers were ex...

recognised disease process, which may be metabolic (Paget’s disease, osteomalacia), infective (gonococcal, tuberculous, acute pyogenic), traumatic or non-specific (rheumatoid arthritis). This paper deals only with primary protrusion of the acetabulum. We have reviewed the patients with primary protrusion of the acetabulum who came to the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre during the last ten years wit...
