Implication

Observational analysis shows moderate correlations between radiographic measurements and hip contact mechanics, suggesting improved assessment methods for hip dysplasia.

Key Points

Moderate correlations were found between radiographic measurements and contact mechanics in hip dysplasia.
Pre-operative lateral center edge angle of Wiberg had the highest correlation with contact stress (ρ = −0.5112).
Computational modeling based on CT scans revealed a more complex mechanical environment than radiographs indicate.
Weak correlations were observed post-operatively, highlighting the need for combined assessment methods.
