  • Title: Radiographic parameters of acetabulum for dysplasia in Korean adults.
    Author: Han CD, Yoo JH, Lee WS, Choe WS.
    Journal: Yonsei Med J; 1998 Oct; 39(5):404-8. PubMed ID: 9821788.
    Abstract:
    We analyzed plain radiographs of 591 normal adult hips of various parameters to evaluate the radiological characteristics of the hip joint including the center-edge (CE) angle, acetabular angle, acetabular depth, acetabular roof obliquity and roof angle, and also to verify the rate of acetabular dysplasia. The CE angle was negatively correlated with acetabular angle and acetabular obliquity, but it was positively correlated with acetabular depth and roof angle. The rate of acetabular dysplasia (CE angle < 20 degrees) was 1.8%. We concluded that the CE angle and acetabular angle are more useful parameters for the diagnosis of acetabular dysplasia because there was no significant difference with advancing age and gender, as well as relatively small standard deviations.
