Abstract
Numerous studies have shown that the geometry of the femur and pelvis affects the distribution of the occurring tensions and movements. The study was performed on the 3D model (three dimensional), of the coxofemoral joint which was achieved through CT images (tomography computer). The results confirmed that the values of tensions and displacements slightly differ from those in the literature due to the geometry and the properties of the used material.
