The high frequency of SAF on MR arthrograms (10.5%), the absence of subchondral reaction, and the absence of cartilage defects at arthroscopy indicate that the SAF of the acetabulum likely represents a variant.
Increased neck-shaft angles, small CE angles, small acetabular depth, higher alpha angles and a thick ligamentum teres are associated with positive joint distraction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
