Fourteen patients with acetabular dysplasia were studied by using three-dimensional computed tomography (CT) reconstructions before pelvic osteotomies. Computer manipulation of the data allowed a preoperative visual assessment of acetabular shape, assessment of potential congruency between the femoral head and acetabulum by using a mathematical best-fit sphere, and measurement of surface contact distances that depict joint coverage and relate to concentration of weight-bearing forces. Preoperative evaluation of the three-dimensional images for these 14 patients allowed improved understanding of their abnormal anatomy and better surgical planning.
