From a radiology report:

"petit os acétabulaire ***en regard du*** cotyle droit."

I am confused by which "small acetabular bone" may be being referred to here, since isn't the acetabulum one large bone of which the cotyloid fossa is a part?

I have been having trouble with this one for days... so thank you, in advance, for any light you may be able to shed on the situation!

os acetabuli (or acetabular ossicles) next to the right acetabulum

Explanation:
The small bones could be os acetabuli, heterotrophic bone formation, or even little bone fragments from previous trauma, but in the absence of additional information, I assume he means os acetabuli (acetabular boney ossicles).

http://radiopaedia.org/articles/os-acetabuli

It has absolutely nothing to do with a small acetabulum.

Hi Kelly.
We doctors use the term acetabulum interchangeably for the bone and for the acetabular fossa. To be perfectly correct you can mention fossa explicitly. Cotyloid fossa is synonymous with acetabular fossa, but I rarely see it used in day to day practice.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Interesting and important difference.. but would it not still be "next to right cotyloid fossa" rather than "acetabulum", since it's such a big bit o' bone? Thank you for responding :)

Asker: Marvellous, thank you. I'm going for "small ossicle next to acetabular fossa" then (in order to avoid repetition).
