[Percentile graphs in the documentation of acetabular angle in children with hip dysplasia. A tool in the diagnosis and quality control of its treatment].
The acetabular index (AI; Hilgenreiner 1925) has proven to be a reliable parameter for the radiological diagnosis of developmental hip dysplasia (DDH). Age-dependent normal values and ranges of the AI are well documented. These data, however, have so far not been presented graphically in a way which would have made them suitable for patient data documentation on a routine basis (calculation of percentiles, time-axis with log scale, smoothing). We have therefore created graphs meeting these requirements, based on a previous examination of the AI of 719 girls and 428 boys (Tönnis and Brunken 1968). These graphs have meanwhile proven to be a useful and time-saving tool for the diagnosis as well as quality control of the treatment in children with DDH.
