The pressure distribution between the cartilaginous surfaces in the human hip joint was measured using pressure-sensitive film. Five cadaveric hip joints (aged between 58 and 87 years) were measured at three positions and loads, representing three instants in the stance phase of the walking cycle. The pressure distribution was not uniform, indicating that the cartilage did not, to any great extent, distribute the applied load. The maximum pressures recorded were about 10 MN/m2. The anterosuperior surface of the cartilage was identified as an area of high pressure.
使用压敏薄膜测量了人体髋关节软骨表面之间的压力分布。对五个尸体髋关节（年龄在58至87岁之间）在三个位置和负荷下进行了测量，这些位置和负荷代表步行周期站立阶段的三个瞬间。压力分布并不均匀，这表明软骨在很大程度上并没有分散施加的负荷。记录到的最大压力约为10兆牛/平方米。软骨的前上表面被确定为高压区域。
