Abstract
There are six different definitions of acetabular position based on observed inclination and anteversion made in either the (1) anterior pelvic plane or (2) coronal planes and based on whether each of the observations made in one of these two planes is (1) anatomic, (2) operative, or (3) radiographic. Anteroposterior pelvic tilt is the angle between the anterior pelvic plane and the coronal plane of the body. The coronal plane is a functional plane and the anterior pelvic plane is an anatomic pelvic plane. A cup may be in the “safe zone” by one definition but may be out of the “safe zone” by another definition. We reviewed published studies, analyzed the difference in varying definitions, evaluated the influence of the anterior pelvic tilt, and provided methods to convert from one definition to another. We recommend all inclination and anteversion measurements be converted to the radiographic inclination and anteversion based on the coronal plane, which is equivalent to the inclination and anteversion on the anteroposterior pelvic radiograph.Keywords
