Abstrakt		Dysplasia of the human hip is characterised by insufficient anterolateral covering of femoral head by the acetabulum. In our study, we evaluated dysplastic human hip joints using biomechanical parameters (the peak contact stress in the weight-bearing area of the hip - pmax) and X-ray image parameters (the centre-edge angle - E, the transverse acetabular inclination angle - omegaus, the acetabular index of the weight-bearing zone - omegaAC, the ACM angle - omegaACM, and the hip value - HV). The purpose of this study is to make use of X-ray and biomechanical parameters to evaluate hips diagnosed with "hip dysplasia", and to establish whether or not there is a correlation between the two. Our results show a statistically significant correlation between pmax and omegaCE, omegaUS and omegaAC. The correlation between pmax and umegaACM and HV is not statistically significant.
