Fig. 4

Bone corridor configuration of the posterior column in male patients. a Medio-lateral and (b) superior-inferior diameter of the bone stock in relation to the maximally possible implant diameter. Important constrictions (marked with arrows) for daily clinical routine are the inferior margin of acetabulum as well as the acetabular centre. (Scaling of x-axis: 0.0 = anterior column at the entry point of the implant; 1.0 = anterior column at the end point of the implant; n = 130 hemipelvises)
