AD acetabular dysplasia, CE center edge, ADR acetabular depth ratio, AHI acetabulum head index, AASA anterior acetabular sector angle, PASA posterior acetabular sector angle, VCA vertical-center-anterior margin angle. *Male vs female subjects, evaluated with a χ 2 test. P values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant
