- Abstract
Objective: Acetabulum is the cavity that the femoral head locates on the outer face of os coxae. The size, shape and depth of the acetabulum are variable. The morphometric data of the acetabulum are a prerequisite for a thorough understanding of hip joint mechanics. In addition, this information is essential in clinical practice; for diagnosis of hip dysplasia, acetabular reconstruction, hip joint prosthesis and etiopathogenesis of diseases such as primary osteoarthritis. Methods: The study was carried out on 20 dry coxae in Harran University Medical School Department of Anatomy. The 11 parameters of the acetabulum were measured in the Image J program. Statistical analyzes were performed in SPSS 20.0. Results: The depth of acetabulum was 32.55±2.25 mm, the width of incisura acetabuli was 22.53±3.78 mm, the vertical diameter of acetabulum was 51.28±7.27 mm and the horizontal diameter of acetabulum was 54.94±6.38 mm found. Facies lunata area/fossa acetabuli area 0.97±0.45; vertical diameter of acetabulum/horizontal diameter of acetabulum 0.93±0.71; the vertical diameter of the fossa acetabuli / horizontal diameter of the fossa acetabuli was calculated as 1.09±1.14. Conclusion: The distribution and mean values of morphometric measurements of acetabulum generally differ between individuals and populations. Safe procedures and estimated distances should be considered during surgical procedures to prevent complications. In this regard, orthopedic surgeons should be aware of the diversity of components in the acetabulum size.
