The article published at your journal in Vol. 47, No 1 (2013) titled “Acetabular index values in healthy Turkish children between 6 months and 8 years of age: a cross-sectional radiological study” written by Akel et al.[1] aspires to be a valuable resource for our fellow orthopedists. One of the important radiological parameters in diagnosing developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is the measurement of the acetabular index (AI), defined by Hilgenreiner.[2] Tönnis’ study assessing the distribution of AI based on age groups is the most important study of its kind and has been referred to by several authors. Akel et al. reviewed 2767 pelvis and lower abdomen radiographs taken due to factors other than DDH in 19 cities and defined the normal values for the AI in the Turkish population.
