ABSTRACT:

Aim: To measure various dimensions of acetabulum of hip bones.
Materials and Methods: The study included fifty four dried hip bones ( 27 right and 27 left) of unknown age and sex. The depth, diameter and volume of acetabulum were measured by suitable methods.

Results: The depth of acetabulum was found to be 2.15 ± 0.33 cm and 1.98 ± 0.2 cm on the right and left side respectively. The diameter of acetabulum was found to be 4.53 ± 0.37 cm on the right side and 4.41 ± 0.39 cm on the left side. The volume was determined to be 36.3 ± 9.84 ml on the  right side and 30.12 ± 7.05 ml on the left side.

Conclusion: The findings of the study will be helpful for orthopaedicians, prosthetists, forensic scientists and anthropologists.

Key Words Acetabulum, hip joint, dimensions, prosthesis, arthroplasty.
