Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease that is characterized by increasing loss of
cartilage, remodeling of the periarticular bone, and inflammation of the synovial membrane …

Mechanical hip pain typically has been associated either with dynamic factors resulting in
abnormal stress and contact between the femoral head and acetabular rim when the hip is …

Our objectives were to determine cartilage contact stress during walking, stair climbing, and
descending stairs in a well‐defined group of normal volunteers and to assess variations in …

Computational models may have the ability to quantify the relationship between hip
morphology, cartilage mechanics and osteoarthritis. Most models have assumed the hip …

Background Acetabular dysplasia is a major predisposing factor for development of hip
osteoarthritis (OA), and may result from alterations to chondrolabral loading. Subject-specific …

Soft tissue damage has been observed in hip joints with pathological geometries. Our
primary goal was to study the relationship between morphological variations of the bony …

A silicon/diamond-like carbon (Si/DLC) multilayer nanocomposite coating (MNC) was
applied to the Ti–29Nb–13Ta‒4.6 Zr (TNTZ) alloy to improve its wear resistance and …

Objective To construct a comprehensive simulation method of “gait-musculoskeletal system
(MS)-finite element (FE)” for analysis of hip joint dynamics characteristics and the changes in …

Advances in computational mechanics, constitutive modeling, and techniques for subject-
specific modeling have opened the door to patient-specific simulation of the relationships …

Background Physiologic pelvic tilt can change acetabular orientation and coverage in
patients with hip dysplasia. In this study, we aimed to clarify the impact of change in sagittal …
