Dr. Leena Khobragade, Dr. P. Vatsalaswamy
Abstract :
Background: As total hip replacement is a common surgery performed now a days, reconstruction of acetabulum in patients with significant acetabular bone deficiency remains a challenge. Hence the present study was carried out with the aim to study the morphometric measurement of diameter of acetabulum in both the sexes.
Materials and Methods: Material of the study consisted of 110 human hip bones (60 males and 50 females). Diameter of Acetabulum (i.e. Transverse Diameter of Acetabulum–TDA and Anteroposterior Diameter of Acetabulum–APDA) was measured on these hip bones on both the sides.
Results: The mean diameter of acetabulum in male was TDA–50.55 mm, APDA–50.09 mm and in female was TDA– 45.46 mm, APDA–45.42mm. The mean diameter of acetabulum on right side was TDA–48.01 mm, APDA–47.96 mm and on left side was TDA–48.44 mm, APDA– 47.98 mm.
Conclusion: Diameter of the acetabulum was greater in males as compared to females.
