When total hip replacement is performed, the position of the acetabular component may affect wear and component survival time. We considered the questions: In what way does displacement of the hip joint center alter (1) the magnitude and (2) the direction of the resultant force? Biomechanical tests were carried out on a human multibody model. After displacement of the hip joint center, the resultant forces were calculated for the single leg stance. With the flexed single leg stance, maximum hip joint forces were observed with lateral, cranial, posterior displacement. The peak forces were affected by the modeling of a gluteus maximus wrapping point at the ischial tuberosity and were overestimated when this was removed. With the straight single leg stance, posterior displacement decreases the total load on the hip joint because of the increased leverage of the rectus femoris. With regard to the direction of the resultant force, medial displacement increases the angles in both planes, cranial displacement increases it in the sagittal plane (cranial, posterior-caudal, anterior), and anterior displacement decreases the angle in the sagittal plane and increases it in the frontal plane (medial, cranial-lateral, caudal). The direction of the force is relatively insensitive to displacement of the hip joint center. The results presented here indicate a marked increase in the force after lateral, cranial, posterior displacement of the center in the flexed single leg stance. To avoid extreme joint loading and to reduce the wear after total hip arthroplasty, the cranial and posterior regions of the acetabulum should be fully reconstructed. A high hip joint center has an adverse effect on the magnitude of the force, although the directions are hardly affected by it.
