Abstract
AIM: A morphometric study of acetabulum of 50 dry human hip bones in Ludhiana, Punjab was done to evaluate the various parameters of acetabulum. MATERIAL AND METHODS: 50 human adult unpaired dry hip bones (25 right and 25 left) of unknown sex were collected in the Department of Anatomy, Dyanand Medical College, Ludhiana, Punjab to analyze and evaluate the depth, diameter and capacity of acetabulum. RESULTS: The raw data obtained was statistically analyzed. Range, mean, standard deviation and standard error of mean were determined for each parameter. All values were compared with series of other workers to draw the conclusions. CONCLUSIONS: All the parameters showed a greater value for the right side. The capacity of acetabulum showed dependence on its diameter. With an increase in diameter there was an increase in capacity of the acetabulum. A sound knowledge of various parameters of the acetabulum is important for the forensic experts, anthropologists and anatomists.
