A member asked:
Xray: what does "prominent superior acetabular margins, bilaterally" mean on a pelvic xray?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Degenerative change: The acetabulum is essentially a socket for the "ball" of the femoral head. It is composed from a union of three different pelvic bones. The superior margin is the roof of the acetabulum. This can become prominent as a result of degenerative changes at the hip joint.
