Abstract

 Introduction: There is very less study on the cadaveric hip joint. There is some sort of difference seen in dry bone & cadaveric [wet] bone. Cadaveric studies on dimensions of articulating surfaces of hip joint have need to be much studied because they correlate well with surgical anatomy needed for operative procedures. Materials & Methods: 42 cadaveric hip joints with soft tissue in situ from various medical collegesin south Maharashtra region were studied. Dimensions of Acetabulum & Femoral head were obtained with Vernier scale. Conclusion: The depth of acetabulum was greater in males than females on both right and left side which was statically significant. Remaining parameters that is diameter of acetabulum, vertical and horizontal diameter of femoral head on both sides were greater in males than females but statistically insignificant.

Though in present study left hip joint parameters were greater than the right, yet they were statistically insignificant. Present study helps for prosthetics, orthopaedicians & forensic experts as it gives dimensions of the acetabulum & femoral head in present era.

Keywords: Cadaver; Acetabulum; Hip Joint; Vernier Scale.
