Abstract Background Developmental dysplasia of the hip DDH is a condition in which bone growth irregularities subject articular cartilage to higher mechanical stresses increase susceptibility to subluxation and elevate the risk of early osteoarthritis. Study objectives were to calculate threedimensional cartilage contact stresses and to examine increases of accumulated pressure exposure over a gait cycle that may initiate the osteoarthritic process in the human hip in the absence of trauma or surgical intervention. Methods Patient-specific non-linear contact finite element models constructed from computed tomography arthrograms using a custom-built meshing program were subjected to normal gait cycle loads. Results Peak contact pressures for dysplastic and asymptomatic hips ranged from - MPa. Spatially .
