To elucidate the role of mechanical factors in the etiology of osteoarthritis, the detailed geometry of the weight-bearing cartilage layer over the human hip socket is compared with the corresponding pressure distribution. The shape of the pressure distribution is strongly correlated with the shape of the cartilage compression distribution.Entities:
