Description

<p>The golden ratio, or golden section, is an aesthetically pleasing mathematical ratio represented by the number 1.618. Examples of the beauty associated with this number are pervasive and can be witnessed in many aspects of life. Herein, the author would like to explore and elucidate the relevance of both the golden section and golden angle in plain radiograms of the hip and pelvis. While using plain standing radiograms, this study brought to light a total of five golden sections and three golden angles within the structure that composes the hip and pelvis. The author postulates that, due to sapient natural selection, a typical, healthy hip joint is made up of numerous golden sections and golden angles, making them not only beautiful to the human eye but, more importantly, allowing it a high functionality.</p>
