The cartilage thickness of the human acetabulum was examined in 10 objects (material from the dissecting room). Cartilage specimens were taken at identical points of the joint and measured by microscope. The greatest thickness is situated in the outer joint edge, with a maximum in the frontal part of the joint roof; the lowest thickness is found at the inner margin of the facies lunata. These results indicate a higher stressing of the outer joint margin. This could be caused by an eccentric position of the hip joint's resultant force, which is shifted towards the edge. Another possible explanation of these results relates to a swelling of the joint cartilage under functional stress. Such a swelling, which has already been proved, would lead to an incongruence of the ball and socket joint, and so to a stronger stressing of the outer joint edge.
对10个标本（取自解剖室的材料）的人体髋臼软骨厚度进行了检查。在关节的相同部位采集软骨标本并通过显微镜测量。最大厚度位于关节外缘，在关节顶的前部达到最大值；最低厚度出现在月状面的内缘。这些结果表明关节外缘承受的压力更大。这可能是由于髋关节合力的偏心位置，该合力向边缘偏移所致。这些结果的另一种可能解释与功能应力下关节软骨的肿胀有关。这种已经得到证实的肿胀会导致球窝关节不匹配，从而使关节外缘承受更强的压力。
