Keynote webinar | Spotlight on sleep in brain health

LIVE: Thursday 2nd May 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

Quality sleep is essential for health. But what happens to our brains when sleep patterns are disturbed? Join our experts to explore the interplay between sleep disruption and neurological diseases, and the questions that you need to be asking your patients to help you prevent the harmful effects of sleep deprivation.

Abstract

Objective

The purpose of this study was to determine if there is an anatomic relationship between pelvic geometry and acetabular depth.

Materials and methods

One hundred and fifty-one anteroposterior pelvic radiographs (157 hip joints) were selected and analyzed in a retrospective fashion. Six parameters, including iliac offset, ischial offset, acetabular offset, pelvic height, center-edge (CE) angle of Wiberg, and acetabular index (AI) angle of Tönnis were measured for each of the hip joints. Based on the defined variables, three formulas (formulas 1, 2, and 3) were calculated to represent the hemi-pelvis slope.

Results

There was a strong relationship between the hemi-pelvis slope and probability of acetabular dysplasia. Wider upper pelvis was associated with deeper acetabulum and wider lower pelvis was associated with dysplastic acetabulum.

Conclusions

Pelvic anatomic dimensions and the relationship between them are strongly correlated with hip dysplasia indices. Dysplastic hips tend to be found in pelvises with lower slope (low width of the upper pelvis at the level of iliac crest and high width of the lower part at the level of ischium).
