# Morphometric study of the acetabulum among north Indian population: A cross-sectional radiological study

## TL;DR

This study measures acetabular parameters in North Indians to understand hip variations and improve orthopedic treatments.

## Contribution

Provides population-specific acetabular data for North Indians, highlighting gender and side differences.

## Key findings

- Gender-based differences in acetabular parameters were observed.
- Significant variations were noted between the right and left acetabula.
- The study supports better hip implant design and clinical interventions.

## Abstract

There is a need to estimate acetabular morphometric parameters in asymptomatic individuals from the North Indian population. Therefore,
it is of interest to evaluate the prevalence of acetabular dysplasia, which has not been extensively studied in this specific population. A
cross-sectional analysis of 100 radiographs was conducted to measure parameters such as center-edge angle, acetabular angle and acetabular
depth. The data revealed gender-based differences in acetabular parameters, with significant variations noted between the right and left sides.
Thus, we show valuable data for improving hip implant design, understanding osteoarthritis and supporting clinical and forensic applications.
This study contributes to more precise and population-specific orthopedic interventions.
