This study was done on 65 isolated pelvic bones, These cadavers belonged to adult people of mature and old age, and they had no pathological changes. These measurements were performed on osteological collection of Department of Anatomy Drago Perovic. Many geometrical parameters of facies auricularis were measured, which we considered important for further studies, simulations of joint's action, transfer calculations of the forces from spine to hip joint. We used paper, which partially adapted to the surface of facies auricularis, so the values are closer to real ones than projection values. The results have shown that the average surface of facies auricularis is 13.46 cm(2). There was no statistical significance found between left and right cadavers. For easier orientation we divided surface of facies auricularis into two parts: vertical and horizontal. Height of the vertical part was 3.99 cm, while the width was 2.05 cm. Height of horizontal part was 2.07 cm and the width 3.62 cm.

Ovo istraživanje je napravljeno na 65 izoliranih zdjeličnih kostiju. Uzorci su pripadali ljudima zrele i starije dobi, i nisu imali nikakvih patoloških promjena. Mjerenja su se vršila na osteološkoj zbirci Zavoda za anatomiju Drago Perović. Mjereno je više geometrijskih parametara facies auricularis, koje smo smatrali važnima za daljnja istraživanja, simulacije rada zgloba, proračune prijenosa sila sa kralježnice na zglob kuka. Sva mjerenja su ponavljana kako bi se osigurala što veća točnost. Rezultati su pokazali da prosječna površina facies auricularis iznosi 13.46 cm(2). Nije nađena statistički značajna razlika između desnih i lijevih primjeraka. Radi lakšeg snalaženja podijelili smo površinu facies auricularis na dva dijela: okomiti i vodoravni. Visina okomitog dijela bila je 3.99 cm, dok širina 2.05 cm. Visina vodoravnog dijela bila je 2.07 cm, a širina 3.62 cm.
