Abstract

The anatomical parameters of hip joint will be of immense importance to orthopedicians, radiologists and prosthetists. These parameters help in designing patient specific implants and can be utilized to understand etiopathogenesis of osteoarthritis. Aim and objective: The objective of this study is to compare acetabular diameter (AD) and acetabular depth (Depth) morphology in humans in terms of age and gender. Material and Method: This is a prospective, descriptive, cross sectional and observational study conducted at Department of Anatomy and Radiology, Index Medical College, Indore from January 2020 December 2022. Study group divided into 3 groups: Group A: 18-35 years, Group B: 36-55 years and Group C: 56-75 years. Result: It is defined as the angle between the line connecting the lateral edge of the acetabular roof touching the lower iliac tip of acetabular surface and a line parallel to the pelvic tear drop. The angle between the centre line of both femoral heads and the line from centre towards the anterior margin of acetabulum. The angle between the centre line of both femoral heads and the line from centre towards the posterior margin of acetabulum.CONCLUSION: The depth studied on acetabulum in the present study showed statistically significant differences between males and females. Studies based on depth of acetabulum are relatively few in the literature, hence the findings of the present study can provide a guideline for further studies on acetabulum. Considering that total hip replacement is a common surgery performed now a day, awareness of the dimensions of the acetabulum is of immense importance to the orthopaedic surgeons
