The knowledge about the hip joint space width which is formed between the head of femur and acetabulum is essential for radiological practice in identifying the pathologies of hip joint like osteoarthritis and in orthopaedic surgeries.
Aim:Determination of mean values of hip joint space width.
Materials and Methods:Normal plain radiographs of pelvis with bilateral hip joints – AP view of both males and females between the 20 to 50 years of age were used for study.  A total of 200 x-rays (100 males and 100 females) were included in the study.
Inclusion criteria: a) Patients complaining of pain in hip, who had no joint pathology defined on the basis of radiological examination. b) Patients of age group 20-50 years.c)Patients without any deformity of hip joint. Exclusion criteria:a)Patients having history of pathologies like Osteoarthritis, Tuberculosis, Fractures around hip joint. b) Patients having history of Surgical intervention around this area.

Background: The acetabulum is a cup‑shaped cavity present on the lateral side of the hip bone. Morphometry of acetabular fossa serves as a baseline data for construction of prostheses of acetabulum in clinical practice. Present study was aimed to study Morphometric characteristics of acetabulum in adult dry human pelvic bone.
Material and Methods: Present study was descriptive, observational study, conducted in human adult dry hip bones of unknown age and sex.
Results: In present study, 96 undamaged acetabulum of adult dry human hip bone of unknown age and gender were studied. Mean diameter of acetabulum in left side was 48.12 ± 8.81 mm & right side was 44.71 ± 8.97 mm, difference was not significant statistically. Mean depth of acetabulum in left side was 26.62 ± 3.28 mm & in right side was 23.98 ± 3.19 mm, difference was not significant statistically. Width of acetabular notch in left side was 32.51 ± 3.92 mm & right side was 34.89 ± 3.35 mm, difference was not significant statistically. Anterior acetabular ridge was curved (45.83 %) in majority of cases, followed by straight (30.21 %), angular (19.79 %) and irregular (4.17 %). Hip bones showed pointed anterior end and lunate posterior end (73.96 %) in majority cases, while others were anterior and posterior ends of labrum are lunate shaped (18.75 %) & both anterior and posterior ends of labrum were pointed (7.29 %).
Conclusion: Morphometric studies of hip bone are of importance not only to anatomist and anthropologists, but is of great value to osteologists, forensic medicine experts and orthopedicians. 

Surgical procedure of the acetabulum especially in total hip arthroplasty it is necessary to evaluate the diameter of the acetabulum as a part of the pre-operative planning in order to estimate the size of the acetabular cup. The purpose of this study was to determine the sex from the acetabulum by using various parameters such as Maximum depth, Maximum transverse diameter, articular and non-articular surface. Before measuring the side of each hip bone was determined. A total of 100 hip bones were taken and individual parameters were recorded. In our study mean values of all the parameters measured were more in males than female bones. In contrast to studies reported by previous works, in our study we observed statistical correlation between acetabular dimensions chilioticline with maximum depth of acetabulum showed statistical correlation of r=0.42 in female bones. Greater Sciatic Notch with maximum depth of acetabulum showed statistical correlation of r=0.42 in male bones. These measurements are of importance during sex determination in medicolegalcases & also important in making prosthesis for hip arthroplasty.

In recent years, there has been an increase in patients with acetabular fractures, while the rates of unsatisfactory treatment results and disability remain high. There is a widespread trend, as well as in the Bukhara region, to increase the number of patients with injuries of the acetabulum. The difficulties of diagnosis and the choice of treatment tactics remain relevant. Low rates of active surgical tactics for treating injuries, which affects the results of treatment. There is a need for a more in-depth study of this problem with the introduction of modern methods of damage visualization and the development of minimally invasive treatment methods

a modified technique for measuring the angle between planar anatomical structures and for determining the point of remission of the true acetabulum in dysplastic coxarthrosis using a protractor

Background: Pelvic ring fractures represent 3-8% of all selected injury and have a high mortality rate of around 20%. In Polytrauma patients the occurrence of Pelvis ring fractures is higher which is observed in 20-25%.In young individuals it occurs as a consequence of high energy trauma. The main aim of this study is to assess the functional outcome of pelvic fractures managed operatively and conservatively and providing a basic local data regarding pelvic fracture management and results obtained. Objectives: The main objectives are to note the functional outcome using Majeed pelvic score and to assess the radiological outcome by using suitable parameters. Methodology: This is an observational study in which a minimum of 25 patients presented as pelvic fracture in Casualty of AVBRH are admitted in orthopaedic ward. This study will include both prospective and retrospective domains. Retrospective cases from January 2015 will be enrolled and the data will be collected from MRD department as well as telephonic calls. Period of study is From July 2019 to September 2021 and collection of data is from July 2015 to June 2021.Fracture pattern will be classified as per the Tile’s classification and the functional outcome of patients managed operatively and conservatively will be assessed as per Majeed pelvic score. Expected outcome: By this study we expect that the patients having high intensity injury if managed operatively will have better outcome as compared to the conservative ones.
