Abstract

The acetabulum (Latin Acetabulum-Shallow Vinegar Cup) is an approximately hemispherical cavity central on the lateral aspect of the innominate bone, facing anteroinferiorly and surrounded by an irregular margin deficient inferiorly at the acetabular notch. The acetabular fossa forms the central floor and is rough and non-articular. The articular lunate surface is widest above (the 'dome'), where weight is transmitted to the femur. All three innominate elements contribute to the acetabulum, but unequally. The pubis forms the anterosuperior fifth of the articular surface, the ischium forms the floor of the fossa and rather more than the posteroinferior two-fifths of the articular surface, and the ilium forms the remainder. In the present study consists of 154 dry human hip bone of unknown sex from Teerthankar Mahaveer Medical College& Research Centre, Moradabad. To determine the depth and width of human acetabulum in dry hip bone of indian population, using the Stainless steel sliding caliper and Slide Scale, The mean ?S. D value of depth and diameter of acetabulum were 27.14 ? 3.50mm, 47.57 ? 3.99mm. The maximum and minimum measurements of acetabulum depth were 38.0 mm; 13.0 mm and maximum and minimum measurements of acetabulum diameter were 56.0 mm, 39.0 mm respectively. Morphological study on adult hip bone is useful for anatomists, anthropologists, experts in Forensic medicine, and orthopedics for performing surgical procedures in this area.
