| pubmed-article:7268027 | pubmed:abstractText | Many papers have been published about the different types of measurements used in the evaluation of hip dysplasia in the pediatric age group. However, there are no publications that deal with this topic regarding adults. The authors present an initial series of measurements of the angle of the roof of the acetabulum in 100 randomized asymptomatic adult males. The normal value ranged from -10 degrees to +10 degrees. These measurements were correlated with those described by Wiberg. The combination of both methods yields highly reliable information in the evaluation of hip dysplasia. | lld:pubmed |
