Hip Pressures: Normal

Author: Corinne Henak, University of Utah
Model of a normal hip illustrating femoral and acetabular cartilage pressures during walking. The model was generated from CT images of a person with a normal hip. By creating these subject-specific finite element models of normal hips and hips from patients who have dysplasia we will be able to compare the cartilage stresses in normal and dysplastic hips during activities of normal daily living.
