Abstract

Dear Sir, I thank Mr Bardakos and Mr Freeman for their kind words and intriguing data on pelvic anatomy and its gender differences. Concerning the main point of their paper, the near-uniformity of the distance between the femoral heads, the fact that male and female mean values fall outside the 95% confidence interval for the group overall, suggests there is a significant gender difference (non-uniformity), with males having a larger distance, i.e. wider pelvis. In my article for Bone & Joint 360 ,1 I referred to work by Dr Tague, who found a larger absolute biacetabular distance in females, measured between “the middle of both …
