A casting method for measuring the intra-articular space in the loaded hip is described. The results of tests on 22 hips from 22 cadavers show that the joint space is variable both in location and size and can disappear under light loads. It seems likely that the size and shape of the space influence how much access synovial fluid has for lubrication and nutrition.
描述了一种用于测量负重状态下髋关节内关节间隙的铸造方法。对22具尸体的22个髋关节进行测试的结果表明,关节间隙在位置和大小上都是可变的,并且在轻负荷下可能消失。关节间隙的大小和形状似乎会影响滑液用于润滑和营养的可达量。
