Contour plot of liner von Mises stresses developed during impingement/subluxation of a right hip at high flexion. Stress concentrations occurred at two distinct regions of the cup: the impingement site (anteriorly) and the egress site (posteriorly). For clarity, the femoral component is rendered translucent, and only the anterior half of the capsule is shown.
