title: Normal pelvic strain pattern in vitro.
abstract: Four cadaver pelves were dissected of soft tissue and each of the eight hemipelves instrumented with ten rosette strain gauges. Static loading was conducted to simulate single leg stance, and applied through the intact hip joint. The medial portion of the pelvis was under tension directed vertically and the lateral ilium was in compression. This strain pattern is consistent with bending applied to the ilium from the action of the abductor and joint reaction forces.
