Objective: To measure the depth of acetabulum [the Centre edge (CE) angle] in adult normal Jordanian population. Design: Descriptive Case -Series Study.Participants: Antero -posterior (AP) radiographs of (400 hips) taken for adult nonorthopedic patients of various age groups, 105 were men and 95 were women. Main Outcome Measurements:The centre -edge (CE) angles of 400 hips were measured by Wiberg method.Results: The (CE) angle increased with age. There is no significant difference between men and women, nor is a significant difference between right and left. The distribution of (CE) angles is similar to other studies in Indians, Caucasians and Africans. Conclusion:The acetabular depth measured by the (CE) angle (acetabular dysplasia) could not be the main factor in etiology of osteoarthritis and congenital dislocation of the hip.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
