The bicompartmental acetabulum is one of the morphological changes which may be seen in children with Legg-Calvé-Perthes' disease. Three-dimensional CT and MRI were used to analyse the detailed morphology of the acetabulum with special reference to its inner surface, in 16 patients with Perthes' disease and a bicompartmental acetabulum.The bicompartmental appearance was seen on the coronal plan...

Bone changes were both femurs and pelvic bones. head femur enlarged deformed, described as “mushroom-shaped”, with areas smooth cortex cavities, or possible cystic residues. neck short thick. bone shaft distal epiphysis do not show any c...

BACKGROUND Coxa profunda is commonly viewed as a radiographic parameter that is indicative of pincer-type femoroacetabular impingement, and this finding can impact diagnostic and surgical decision-making. Validation of coxa profunda as a measure of pincer-type femoroacetabular impingement has not been rigorously analyzed. Our hypothesis was that coxa profunda is a very common radiographic findi...
