Abstract

The criteria for acetabular cup positioning during total hip replacement are a matter of considerable discussion, particularly with regards to the optimal degree of anteversion. “Anatomical anteversion” is defined in the transverse plane, and “surgical anteversion” in the sagittal plane. Computed tomography measurements of anteversion are characteristic of a given transverse section plane and fail to take into account the position of the pelvis. We suggest a simple method for evaluating acetabular cup position in both the transverse and sagittal planes during standing and sitting. By shedding new light on the relationships between the pelvis and the spine, this method may help to understand some cases of impingement, instability or abnormal wear.
