Hip joint load and frictional moment acting on the femoral head. Left: the force acting on the centre of the femoral head is split into two components, an axial force and an orthogonal force to the head-neck junction (HNJ) axis; Right: the frictional moment about the instantaneous rotation axis is split into two components, a torsional moment and a bending moment.
