The pattern of distribution of cartilage thickness in corresponding femoral heads and acetabula was ascertained in ten hip joints. The differences between individual acetabula and their corresponding heads were small enough for it to be admissible to calculate an average distribution pattern for head and socket. Comparison of these patterns showed that: (a) The maximum thickness is found at points in the ventrocranial area of the acetabulum and ventrolateral area of the head. (b) From these points the cartilage thickness decreases concentrically. (c) In the 'natural position' of the hip joint the points of maximum thickness of head and acetabular cartilage do not correspond. In relation to the line of the hip joint 'force resultant', the area with the thickest cartilage on the head is slightly shifted towards its medial side, and on the socket slightly to the lateral side. It is not possible fully to explain these results on the basis of existing conceptions about the functional stressing of the hip joint.
在十个髋关节中确定了相应股骨头和髋臼软骨厚度的分布模式。各个髋臼与其对应股骨头之间的差异足够小，以至于可以计算出股骨头和髋臼的平均分布模式。这些模式的比较表明：(a) 最大厚度出现在髋臼腹侧颅区和股骨头腹外侧区的点上。(b) 从这些点开始，软骨厚度呈同心递减。(c) 在髋关节的“自然位置”，股骨头和髋臼软骨的最大厚度点不对应。相对于髋关节“合力”线，股骨头软骨最厚的区域向其内侧略有偏移，而在髋臼则向外侧略有偏移。根据现有的关于髋关节功能应力的概念，无法完全解释这些结果。
