The morphology of both acetabula are normal. The femoral heads are properly related to the acetabulum, without subluxation or dislocation. With stress maneuvers, no significant ligamentous laxity is demonstrated.
There is at least 50% coverage of the femoral heads and the alpha angles measure >60 degrees.
