Abstrakt: The hip joint is spheroidal type which allows three movement axes, with a special importance in statics and locomotion. The study of the hip joint by computerized tomography of a male, 52-year-old male patient at the Craiova County Emergency Clinical Hospital was started using Siemens equipment comprised of a magnetic resonance device and a computed tomography apparatus. Were analyzed: hip joint with the two main components of the femur and pelvic bones. To obtain the virtual components of the hip joint, 143 tomographic images from different planes were analyzed. CT images were used to define the normal hip joint. Also, the arthrotic hip virtual model was generated. These two virtual models were subjected to normal walking load and were simulated by the finite element method. The results were analyzed and compared, and important conclusions were finally drawn.
