Abstract
Results: The mean inclination angle of the acetabular cup was 39.3 for the ceramic-on-ceramic THRA and 44.4 for the ceramic-on-polyethylene THRA. There were no significant differences between the 40 and 45 (P=0.059, P=0.071). Conclusion: The pelvic tilt can be evaluated by checking the lateral decubitus X-ray with a goniometer and pointer. Insertion of an acetabular cup at the adjusted angle could be a credible method for reducing the variability of cup inclination.
