ACETABULAR DYSPLASIA

Abstract
A simple method of measuring the degree of acetabular development in the radiograph of the adult pelvis is described and arguments for its validity are advanced. This measurement is referred to as the acetabular angle. The normal values for this angle are between 33 and 38 degrees. Angles below 32 degrees are uncommon and probably of no clinical significance, whereas angles from 39 to 42 degrees are in the upper limit of normality. An angle of 47 degrees is shown in a hip with congenital subluxation. The prognosis for hip joints with acetabular angles between 42 and 47 degrees is under investigation.
