Antereo-posterior view of radiograph of right and left hip joints were taken, after written and informed consent. The depth of acetabulum were measured. The purpose of the study was to assess the depth of acetabulum and to compare with the previous studies and also to find out the significant sex difference. The mean acetabular depth in males was 14.20 mm in Right side and 14.70 mm in left side. Similarly in female the mean acetabular depth were 13.88 mm in right side and 14.60 mm in left side. There was a significant difference in value of acetabular depth in right and left side, in both sexes. Therefore knowledge of various parameters of acetabulum would be helpful for prosthetists, orthopaedcians and forensic experts.
