How Does Radiographic Acetabular Morphology Change Between the Supine and Standing Positions in Asymptomatic Volunteers?

ABSTRACT:

Background

The radiographic appearance of the acetabulum differs between the supine and standing positions in patients with hip conditions. The pelvis undergoes a change in tilt when transitioning between positions, resulting in variations in version and acetabular coverage. However, the extent of these variations in well-functioning volunteers without compensatory patterns caused by pain is unknown.

Questions/purposes

We performed this study to (1) quantify differences in radiographic acetabular measurements when transitioning between supine and standing among asymptomatic, well-functioning volunteers; (2) assess differences in pelvic tilt between positions; and (3) test whether individual anatomic parameters are associated with the change in tilt.
