Abstract		Radiographic and clinical studies, coupled with biomechanical assessment of the hip, are important tools for predicting the development of osteoarthitis of the hip. In order to better understand the treatment of hip dysplasia, it is necessary to determine the contact stress in the hip joint. In this study, a three-dimensional mathematical model was used to determine hip joint contact stress. Because of the discrepancy in the results of analyses of different radiographic indicators of hip dysplasia, the calculation of hip joint contact stress is proposed for a more accurate assessment of the severity of hip dysplasia.
