The deformations and stresses acting on the acetabular rim have not been very precisely documented. The authors present a study based on an experimental simulation of hip loading with anatomic correlations. 122 dissections were performed in order to define the anatomic aspect of the roof (and especially of Byers's "area 17") and the intermediate area between the anterior and posterior acetabular cornua. Ten fresh cadavers were tested on the lines of previous studies on monopodal or bipodal loading. An extensometric study was performed with special attention to the transverse acetabular ligament, supra-acetabular area and obturator foramen. The area 17 of Byers is a transitional zone and the mobility of the posterior cornu is 3 times that of the anterior cornu. Resection of the acetabular ligament modifies the displacement of the posterior cornu under loading but has no influence on deformation of the oburator foramen. The biomechanical behavior of the acetabular roof in the standing position is influenced by the conditions of monopodal or bipodal loading and by femoral rotation, but a tendency to extrusion was constantly noted.
