Here, BOTH HIPS are “shallow' (sockets not very deep). But, the hip on OUR left (a right hip) has a broken Shenton's line. The socket is no longer spherical. At a minimum it is elliptical - or flattened. Even a small amount of this is NOT “EARLY DETECTION”. You have to have serious deformation of the acetabulum to get this. Note that the uncovering is made worse by adduction (knee going toward or past the body mid-line).
