- Abstract
Objective: The iliopsoas notch is a structure that is located on the anterior acetabular margin and is also known as the anterior acetabular ridge, psoas valley and anterosuperior acetabular depression. This notch is associated with tendon of the iliopsoas muscle. Compression of tendon of the iliopsoas muscle at this notch and related symptoms may occur due to the acetabular component of hip prosthesis that is not suitable for the morphology of the acetabulum. Additionally, there is a negative correlation between the anteversion of the acetabulum and the depth of the iliopsoas notch. The aim of this study is to define the morphometric features of the iliopsoas notch. Methods: This study was performed with 55 hip bones (29 right, 26 left) in Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine, Hacettepe University. The length and depth of iliopsoas notch were measured. Results: The mean value of length of iliopsoas notch was measured 26.67±3.39 mm on the right side, 24.10±4.88 mm on the left side, 25.45±4.32 mm in total. The mean value of depth of iliopsoas notch was measured 3.78±1.24 mm on the right side, 3.17±0.99 mm on the left side, 3.49±1.16 mm in total. Conclusion: We think that knowledge of the morphometric features of the iliopsoas notch will contribute to orthopedists in hip replacement surgery.
