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 />
