INFLUÊNCIA DA IDADE SOBRE OS PARÂMETROS PARA IMPACTO FEMOROACETABULAR E DIPLASIA DO QUADRIL EM RADIOGRAFIAS

Objective: While several radiographic parameters have been established to describe the geometry and pathology of the hip, their reference values and clinical significance remain a matter of dispute. The present study tests the hypothesis that age has a relevant impact on radiographic hip parameters. Method: Pelvic antero-posterior views were measured for CE angle, Sharp’s angle, acetabular depth-to-width ratio, femoral head extrusion index, roof obliquity, caput-collum-diaphyseal (CCD) angle, and Murray’s femoral head ratio, and the values obtained were correlated with age. Results: Significant weak and moderate linear correlations (all Ps
