The Shape of Acetabular Cartilage Optimizes Hip Contact Stress Distribution
Result description
The biomechanical role of the horseshoe geometry of the acetabular cartilage is described using a three-dimensional mathematical model. It is shown that the acetabular fossa contributes to a more uniform articular contact stress distribution and a consequent decrease in the peak contact stress. Based on the results it is suggested that the characteristic horseshoe shape of the articular cartilage in the human acetabulum optimizes the contact stress distribution in the hip joint.

Tvar acetabulární chrupky optimalizuje rozložení kontaktního tlaku
Czech description
Biomechanický význam tvaru acetabulární chrupavky byl popsán pomoci matematického modelu. Bylo dokázáno, že fossa acetabuli přispíva ke rovnomµrnýmu rozložení kontaktního tlaku a ke poklesu maximálních hodnot kontaktného tlaku. Na základů těchto výsledkù jsme dospìli k závěru, že tvar acetabulární chrupky optimaliyuje rozležení tlakù v kyčelním kloubu.
