- Abstract
The evaluation of the biomechanical status of human hip joint was performed. Required parameters were assessed from standard antero-posterior rentgenographs and the value of contact stress on the weight bearing area is calculated. We analysed 45 dysplastic human hips and compared measured values to 81 healthy hips. The peak contact stress on the weight bearing area is considerably and statistically significantly higher in dysplastic hips compared to healthy hips. The Wiberg centre-edge angle is statistically significantly smaller in group of dysplastic hips compared to healthy hips.
