CT image and model predictions of contact stress for one subject, illustrating effects of bony geometry. The small cavity located in the superior acetabular roof (arrow, top panel) created a depression that is identifiable in the model before (arrow, middle panel) and during loading (arrow, bottom panel). This resulted in an area of relatively low contact stress at the corresponding location of contact.
