A distinct trend to increased peak vertical joint reaction forces with increased NSA was found.<br />
As a result, the inclination angle of the resultant reaction force in the frontal plane <strong>de</strong>creased<br />
substantially with <strong>de</strong>creasing NSA, introducing a more vertical alignment of the reaction force<br />
at peak loading (Figure 2). Although, the sagittal plane angle showed variations in the<br />
individual mo<strong>de</strong>l, no clear relation with the changes in NSA could be established. When<br />
halving the abductor muscle force generating capacity, all components of the reaction forces<br />
<strong>de</strong>creased. However, the previously <strong>de</strong>scribed relations of the joint reaction forces with NSA<br />
were unchanged.<br />

Discussion<br />
The interaction between hip geometry, muscle moment generating capacity and hip loading can<br />
be analyzed using inverse dynamics based on personalized musculoskeletal mo<strong>de</strong>ling.<br />
Our results show an important interaction between NSA and medio-lateral reaction forces,<br />
causing a more vertical inclination angle in the frontal plane during gait. This therefore will<br />
result in a more vertical loading of the implant when peak reaction forces are applied during<br />
gait. Although we did not analyze the interaction between NSA, NL and PW, our findings do<br />
suggest that a minimal NSA angle needs to be preserved in or<strong>de</strong>r to limit the medio-lateral<br />
force component and limit the resulting bending stress in the femoral shaft. The calculation of<br />
individual hip loading by use of musculoskeletal mo<strong>de</strong>ling and inverse analysis may contribute<br />
to un<strong>de</strong>rstanding the effect of hip joint loading on bone remo<strong>de</strong>ling and implant load shearing.<br />
