Table 2. The Paprosky's Classification System for Acetabular Deficiencies.
Type | Superior migration* | Ischial lysis† | Med migration‡ | Teardrop lysis§ |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Insignificant | None | None | None |
2A | Insignificant | Mild | Grade I | Mild |
2B | Insignificant to significant | Mild | Grade II | Mild |
2C | Insignificant | Mild | Grade III | Moderate to severe |
3A | Significant | Moderate | Grade II or III | Moderate to severe |
3B | Significant | Severe | Grade III | Moderate to severe |
* Insignificant: <3 cm above superior transverse obturator line, Significant: >3 cm above superior transverse obturator line.
† Mild: 0 to 7 mm below superior transverse obturator line, Moderate: 7 to 14 mm below superior transverse obturator line, Severe: 15-mm lysis.
‡ Grade I: lateral to Kohler's line, Grade II: migration to Kohler's line, Grade II+: medial expansion of Kohler's line into pelvis, Grade III: migration into pelvis with violation of Kohler's line, Grade III+: marked migration into pelvis.
§ Mild: minimal loss of the lateral border, Moderate: complete loss of lateral border, Severe: loss of lateral and medial borders.
