Ischiofemoral space (IFS) is a radiological parameter employed for diagnosing ischiofemoral impingement (IFI). The mean IFS value measured with the leg in natural resting position has been reported as 23.0 mm in males and 18.6 mm in females in a patients-based Western population. The normal value of IFS for an Asian population is unknown. This study therefore aimed to investigate whether the IFS value in Japanese hip joints equals that of the Western population. We retrospectively examined 89 consecutive Japanese individuals (178 hips) (46 male subjects with 92 hips, 43 female subjects with 86 hips; mean age 58.7 ± 15.7 years, range 17–84 years) who had undergone computed tomography (CT) for conditions unrelated to hip disorders and ordered by other departments at our institution. All CT scans were performed in a standardized fashion: patient in a flat spine position, hips and knees in extension, and the leg in its natural resting position. IFS was evaluated on axial images as the shortest distance between the ischium and the lesser trochanter. The mean IFSs of this Japanese patient-based population were 20.5 ± 7.3 mm [95% confidence interval (CI) 19.0–22.0] in the male cohort and 13.9 ± 6.5 mm (95% CI 12.6–15.3) in the female cohort. The IFS value was significantly smaller in female subjects than in male subjects. Taking the lower limit of 95% CI into consideration, the IFSs measured in natural leg-resting position in the Japanese male and female groups were significantly smaller than those of the Western populations.

Is the ischiofemoral space value of Japanese hip joints equal to that of Western populations?
