Abstract
Radiologic evaluation of the hip in adolescent patients requires a systematic approach in evaluating the various parameters used to identify and quantify both dysplasia and impingement. In dysplasia, the three-dimensional pathology affecting the acetabulum is evaluated with a two-dimensional image, while in impingement, a static image attempts to capture bony abutment often encountered in dynamic movement or at extremes of range of motion. And yet, plain radiographs manage to provide ample information to make a diagnosis and treatment plan in most cases. This chapter will discuss and illustrate the radiologic parameters utilized to describe acetabular dysplasia and hip impingement in adolescents and young adults.
