The aim of this study was to evaluate the relation between acetabulum morphological measurements and
present the reference values of the acetabulum. The study had a retrospective design and was conducted with 234 healthy subjects
(108 females; 126 males) aged 18-53 years over a period of 4 years from 2018 to 2022. Eleven measurements including the centeredge angle (CEA), acetabular angle (AA), acetabular depth (AD), acetabular width (AW), dept to width ratio (ADWR), Extrusion A
(EA)-B (EB), Extrusion index (EI), the lateral subluxation (LS), peak to edge distance (PED), and roof obliquity (RO) were taken.
The p<0.05 value was considered significant. A significant difference was found in CEA, AA, EB, LS, and RO values, while there
was no significance in the AD, AW, ADWR, EI, and PED measurements in comparison with acetabular morphometry according to
gender. Also, in the evaluation of acetabulum to age-related changes, there was a significant difference in values of the CEA, AA,
AD, AW, ADWR, LS, and PED from decades 1 to 5. The knowledge of radiological acetabulum findings is paramount for the
diagnosis of hip dysplasia and may be useful for prosthesis, orthopedic and forensic experts. Also, the most interesting finding was
that ADWR increased based on age in a directly proportional trend. The most apparent change based on age was seen in CEA
(between decades 3-4), LS (decades 1-5), PED (decades 2-4), AD, and AW (decades 2-5).
