Abstract:
This retrospective study involved assessment of the three-dimensional bony and cartilaginous cover of the hip acetabular shelf of the hip joint using arthrograms. The extent of lateral and anteroposterior cover, the time course of the changes of cover in each direction, and the relationship between lateral and anteroposterior cover were investigated. It was found that the final extent of acetabular cover could be predicted sooner from the cartilaginous cover than from the bony cover on both the contralateral side and the affected side. There was no significant correlation between lateral and anteroposterior cover on the contralateral side, suggesting the need for assessment of anteroposterior cover to avoid a late diagnosis of anterior acetabular dysplasia.

Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.
