Anterior and posterior wall indices (AWI and PWI) may help quantify acetabular coverage, but further research is needed to establish normal reference ranges across different age groups.

AWI and PWI measurements on plain radiographs may help quantify acetabular coverage to distinguish normal from abnormal hips and guide surgical correction, though further validation in diverse cohorts is needed.

Nicolás S. Piuzzi (2016) conducted an editorial in Acetabular morphology. Anterior and posterior wall indices (AWI and PWI) was evaluated. Anterior and posterior wall indices (AWI and PWI) may help quantify acetabular coverage, but further research is needed to establish normal reference ranges across different age groups.
