Comparative Analysis of Healthy and Cam-Type Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) Human Hip Joints Using the Finite Element Method

In this study, a human hip joint with Cam-type Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI) is studied by the Finite Element Method (FEM). This pathology consists of a malformation that causes a lack of sphericity of the head of the femur. In turn, this causes wear and tear of the cartilage, a cause of early...
