Hip socket bone grafting, diagram C016 / 6783
Hip socket bone grafting. Diagram showing the first stage in hip socket bone grafting as part of a total hip replacement operation. Here, a metal mesh liner is placed in the acetabulum (hip socket) in the patients pelvis to provide a solid base for the bone graft. Defects in the bone are filled with vigorously impacted morsellised cancellous bone. This is followed by cementing of the socket implant (acetabular cup) into which the ball of the femoral implant (not shown) fits. For a sequence showing the process, see images C016/6783 to C016/6786

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate process of hip socket bone grafting, a crucial step in total hip replacement surgery. The image depicts the initial stage, where a metal mesh liner is delicately placed in the acetabulum (hip socket) to establish a sturdy foundation for the bone graft. To address any defects in the bone, morsellised cancellous bone is vigorously impacted into these areas. Following this meticulous procedure, the socket implant (acetabular cup), which securely holds the ball of the femoral implant (not shown), is cemented into place. The photograph's white background accentuates every detail of this remarkable surgical technique, highlighting both its complexity and technological advancements within orthopedic medicine. Various elements such as screws and layers are visible, representing key components used during this transformative procedure. With its fusion of artistry and scientific precision, this artwork serves as an educational tool for medical professionals and enthusiasts alike. It provides valuable insight into materials science and bioceramic technology employed in hip replacements. Captured by D & L GRAPHICS from Science Photo Library, this visually striking print encapsulates not only the intricacies involved in hip socket bone grafting but also represents a significant milestone in orthopedics—offering hope to individuals seeking improved mobility through prosthetic solutions.
