Abstract
The hip is a ball and socket joint and is a diarthrodial joint formed by the head and neck of the femur and the acetabulum which represents the joint cavity. The articular surfaces of the femoral head and of the acetabulum are both covered by cartilage. According to Li et al. [1], average cartilage thickness on the femoral side and on the acetabular side is, respectively, 0.94 mm and 1.1 mm.
