Abstract
Preoperative assessment of the acetabulum requires a good knowledge of the normal acetabular anatomy, good plain radiographs, and a knowledge of the various defect patterns that may influence the surgeon's ability to achieve secure fixation of the component at surgery. In certain situations, special radiographic techniques are advantageous.
