  • Title: [Role of mechanical factors in the development of degenerative dystrophic lesions of the hip joint].
    Author: Shargorodskiĭ VS, Kresnyĭ DI.
    Journal: Ortop Travmatol Protez; 1989 Mar; (3):42-5. PubMed ID: 2740115.
    Abstract:
    The authors present the results of their studies of distribution of pressure on the articular surfaces of the hip joint with regard to the value of the angle between the femoral neck and the diaphysis and the state of the cartilaginous coat. The regularity of distribution of pressure was studied on a real model of the hip joint by means of tensometry and ichnography. It was established that the region of maximum pressure was most frequently affected by degenerative dystrophic process, and the epicenter of pressure on the femoral head surface was shifted due to an increased or decreased angle between the femoral neck and the diaphysis directed laterally or medially as compared with the normal state. These peculiarities should be taken into consideration when performing corrective osteotomies.
