Abstract		The decrease in contact hip joint stress after Chiari osteotomy is studied using a mathematical model. In the model, additional coverage of the femoral head by the ala ossis ilei segment is taken into account. It is shown that this additional coverage significantly decreases stress, mostly by the indirect effect caused by the shift of the stress pole.
