Establishment and stress analysis of a finite element model of a marathon runner's hip joint based on material properties given by CT gray value].

In this study, a finite element model of the hip joint of a marathon runner was established based on the method of assigning material properties by CT gray value, and the biomechanics of the hip joint were analyzed when standing on one foot. The results of the study demonstrated that the stress was concentrated in the arcuate line, the greater sciatic notch, the pubic comb, and the acetabular region in the pelvis model; in the femoral model, the stress was concentrated in the femoral head, medial side of femoral neck and femoral shaft. The stress is transmitted from the sacroiliac joint to the acetabular dome through the arcuate line, on one side of the femoral head, from the medial side of the femoral neck to the lower side of the lesser trochanter to the medial side of the femoral shaft, and on the other side from the upper side of the femoral neck to the lateral side of the femoral shaft. The maximum principal stress was distributed in the posterior superior of the acetabular roof (7.22 MPa) and the posterior superior of the femoral head (6.68 MPa). The displacement of the model was about 1 to 3 mm at the upper edge of the ilium, and gradually decreased along the femoral axis, and the displacement at the hip joint was about 0.1 to 0.3 mm.
