On the basis of a previous analysis of the internal stress pattern of the os coxae two types of two-dimensional models for stress-optical analysis are developed and the experimental set-up and procedure are described. The models may be used in an analysis of the principal stress pattern changes following the insertion of various types of hip prostheses.
