Key result
Standing imaging alters acetabular coverage measures versus supine in hip dysplasia, highlighting functional evaluation needs.
Why the study?
There is uncertainty about whether acetabular coverage measurements should be based on standing or supine imaging in patients with hip dysplasia due to differences in radiographic and CT measures between positions.

Position-dependent acetabular measures may refine dysplasia assessment; leaves open prospective validation for surgical planning.
Does acetabular coverage vary between the supine and standing positions in patients with hip dysplasia?
This editorial highlights the clinical importance of standardizing supine versus standing imaging for evaluating 3-D acetabular coverage in hip dysplasia to better guide hip-preserving surgery.
James D. Wylie (2019) conducted an editorial in Hip dysplasia. This editorial highlights that acetabular coverage measures differ between supine and standing positions in hip dysplasia, emphasizing the need for consensus on functional imaging and 3-D evaluation.
