Abstract
Introduction: Hip dysplasia can be associated with early degenerative changes. Different values have been reported for incidence of hip dysplasia in different countries. In the current study, we are reporting on the incidence of hip dysplasia in a group of normal Iranians evaluated by measuring the morphologic parameters of acetabulum on radiographs. Materials and Method: 586 hips (293 person) were enrolled in this study. On anteroposterior hip radiographs , the following 5 parameters were measured : Central edge angle (CEA), acetabular angle (AA), acetabular depth (AD), acetabular roof obliquity (ARO) and roof angle (RA). The normal and abnormal values were obtained in different sexes and compared with the known normal values in orthopaedic literature. Furthermore , the correlation between the above measurements was investigated. Results: Based on CEA, 15 (2.6%) of hips were dysplastic:-0.7% defmite and 1.9% mild. 19 hips (3.2%) were dysplastic when using AA values. AD and RA were significantly higher in males. Except for lack of correlation between AA and AD, the other parameters -in particular , CEA and AA- were closely correlated. CEA, AA, ARO and RA were significantly different between dysplastic and non-dysplastic hips. Conclusion: Definite or mild dysplasia was recognized in 0.7% and 1.9% of the "normal" population that was studied. Since CEA was the same between males and females and was correlated with all other morphologic parameters , it seems that CEA is a useful measurement to evaluate presence of hip dysplasia.
The Outcomes of Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Malleolar Fractures
Background & Objective: Malleolar fractures account for 10% of all lower limb fractures. However, the therapeutic results of fractures of this joint are of paramount importance due to the significant role of this joint i...
Frequency of Cervical Radiculopathy in Patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common form of localized peripheral neuropathy. CTS and cervical radiculopathy (CR) often co-occur and is known as double crush syndrome (DCS). Aim: This study aimed a...
Comparison of Preoperative Methods of Intramedullary Nail Length Measurement and Determination of the Best Estimation in Femur and Tibia Fractures
Background: Tibial and femoral fractures are among the common fractures and are usually treated with intramedullary nails, being often treated by intramedullary nailing. This study was performed to determine the best pre...

Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Orthopaedics (A Current Concept)
Orthopaedics tissues, such as bone, cartilage, and tendon, involve cells that are difficult to culture and grow in vitro for reconstruction of damaged tissues. A small number of cells called stem cells have the ability t...
