Abstract
Background: The knowledge about acetabular version and angle changes in different conditions is important. The normal acetabular version may be different in various populations. We would like to report measurement of this value in a small sample of Iranains with non-orthopaedic conditions. Methods: One coronal pelvic CT film of 81 patients (54 male, 27 female) who had undergone CT scanning for non-orthopaedic reasons was examined in a retrospective cross-sectional study. The acetabular versions were measured and compared for different genders and different age decades. The patients were aged 41.5±14.1 years. Results: The acetabular version was 17.7±3.4 degrees (range: 8 to 32 degrees). There was no significant relationship between acetabular version and age or gender in this sample. Conclusions: The acetabular version in this Iranian group ranged from 17.4 to 19.4 degrees with 95% confidential intervals.
