Osteoarthritis of the hip, X-ray F006 / 3744
Osteoarthritis of the hip. Coloured frontal X-ray (front view) of the pelvis in a 59 year old patient showing osteoarthritis of both hip joints

Osteoarthritis of the hip, X-ray F006 / 3745
Osteoarthritis of the hip. Coloured frontal X-ray (front view) of the pelvis in a 59 year old patient showing osteoarthritis of both hip joints

Osteoarthritis of the hip, X-ray C018 / 0593
Osteoarthritis of the hip. X-ray the left hip of a 74 year old patient showing osteoarthritis. The ball at the top of the femur (thigh bone) fits into the socket of the hip

Australopithecus sp. hip bone
The hip bone (Os coxae) of Australopithecus from Sterkfontein, South Africa

Australopithecus sp. thigh & hip bone

Iguanodon ischium
Close-up of a ischium, or hip-bone that belonged to the Iguanodon. It was discovered in Sussex and dates back to around 140 to 110 million years ago

Polacanthus fossils
Fossils of the bony plates which were located on the hip area of the dinosaur, Polacanthus. This dinosaur was from the family of armoured dinosaurs called Ankylosaurs

Head of thigh bone
Femur head. Wire-frame computer illustration of the top of a healthy human femur (thigh bone). The rounded head (upper left) fits into the acetabulum, a cup-like cavity in the pelvis

Prosthetic hip (artificial hip joint)

Artificial hip joint
Prosthetic hip. View of a prosthetic (artificial) hip joint. The metal shaft (black) ends in a ball (silver) embedded in a plastic socket

False colour x-ray of prosthetic hip joint
False-colour X-ray of the human pelvis showing an artificial (prosthetic) hip joint. The metal implant which forms the ball of the ball & socket joint is coloured red

Artwork of hip joint in osteoporosis
Osteoporosis. Artwork of a female hip joint with osteoporosis. A close up of the head of the femur (the thigh bone, at right of image) and the pelvis (at upper left) is seen

colour X-ray of upper femur with osteoporosis
Osteoporosis. False-colour X-ray of the upper part of a femur (thigh bone) affected by osteoporosis. In osteoporosis the density of bone tissues decreases increasing the brittleness of the bones

Osteoporosis: illustration of a weakened femoral head (hip joint) at the point of breaking, and the stooped posture of the elderly woman at left

Healthy pelvis, 3D CT scan
Coloured three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) scan in front view of the healthy pelvis in a 52 year old patient showing the sacrum of the spine, pelvic bones

Rheumatoid arthritis of the hip, X-ray
Coloured X-ray (front view) of the pelvis in a 58 year old patient showing rheumatoid arthritis of the hip joint (at right)

Osteoarthritic hip, artwork
Artwork of bones of the hip (at left) and thigh (femur, at right) showing osteoarthritis of the hip joint stage C. Here, at the femoral head complete cartilage deterioration has occurred (eburnation)

Hip fracture, digital X-ray
Hip fracture. Digital frontal X-ray of the pelvis and hips of a patient in their mid eighties. This patient has a fracture of the neck of their left femur (upper leg bone)

Failed hip replacement, composite image
Failed hip replacement. Composite image of a metal hip joint prosthesis in a femur (thigh bone). The prosthesis has become loose due to osteolysis, a weakening of the bone around the implant

The hip joint is a complex structure that plays a crucial role in our mobility and overall well-being and can be susceptible to various running injuries, which can cause discomfort and hinder our ability to stay active. In the world of conceptual artwork, the hip joint has been depicted in fascinating ways, showcasing its intricate design and importance. Osteoarthritis of the hip is a condition that affects many individuals, causing pain and stiffness in the joint. X-ray images reveal this degenerative disease, with visible signs such as arthritis and osteophytes on the femoral heads. A normal anterior view of the pelvis with hip bones shows us how this joint should ideally look like - healthy and functional. However, when affected by osteoarthritis, an anterior view reveals significant changes due to damage caused by wear-and-tear over time. For those who have undergone total hip replacement surgery, a front view of their body proudly displays their new lease on life - thanks to modern medical advancements. Illustrations depicting human hip-joints provide valuable insights into its anatomy and functioning mechanisms. These visuals help us understand better how this remarkable joint enables movement while maintaining stability. Zooming in on a close-up image of a hip joint prosthesis highlights the intricacy involved in creating artificial joints for those who need them most. X-rays labeled F006/3744, F006/3745, C018/0593 showcase different cases of osteoarthritis affecting the hips. Each image tells its own story about how this condition impacts individuals differently but shares common symptoms such as pain and reduced range of motion. Even ancient beings like Australopithecus sp. , known for their bipedal locomotion capabilities similar to humans', had unique features within their thigh & hip bones that give us insight into our evolutionary history.
