| Abstract | ||
| As the environruerrt plays an important role in the development of hurnan being it wasthought that the change in the environment rnight have led to some kind of change in thepararneters of the bony component of the hip joint. Therefore,54 cadaveric hip joints withsoft tissue in situ n'cre studied. Dimensions of acetabulum and iemoral head were obtainedrvith Vernier scale. It r,vas observed that these dimensions were greater in males whencompared with that of fernales but the difference was statistically rion significant. On theleft side the measured parameters were greater than those of the right side in both tlte sexesbut of no statistical significance. Acetabular diarneter was greater than the diameter ofl'emoral head in both tlre genders. Clinically, this knowledge plays an irnportaut role inunderstandiltg the occurrence of primary osteoarthrosis in Iraqis. The present study is ofvalue to the forensic expefts, orthopaedicians and prosthetists as it gives the dimensions ofacetabulr.rm arrd fenroral head. | ||
