Prosthetic hip joint, diagram C016 / 6775
Prosthetic hip joint. Cutaway diagram of a femur (thigh bone) showing a femoral component of a hip prosthesis. This component is implanted in the femur after the head of the femur has been surgically removed. The other components of the hip joint are a rounded ball to fit into the socket implanted in the patients pelvis (not shown). This allows the patient to regain mobility, and is usually done to treat severe osteoarthritis or a broken hip. This is an SHP prosthesis, using bone cement (green). The offset and perimeter parameters are labelled. For this diagram with Gruen zones, see C016/6776

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed diagram of a prosthetic hip joint, specifically highlighting the femoral component. The cutaway illustration provides an insightful view into the inner workings of this life-changing device. The image depicts a surgically implanted femoral component within the thigh bone (femur), replacing the removed head of the femur. This innovative prosthesis enables patients suffering from severe osteoarthritis or a broken hip to regain mobility and improve their quality of life. Although not shown in this particular diagram, another crucial element of the hip joint is a rounded ball that fits into a socket implanted in the patient's pelvis. Together, these components allow for smooth movement and functionality. Highlighted by its green color, this SHP prosthesis utilizes bone cement technology to ensure stability and durability. The offset and perimeter parameters are clearly labeled, providing valuable information for medical professionals involved in surgical procedures or research. With its intricate details and scientific accuracy, this artwork serves as an invaluable resource for orthopedic specialists, researchers, and students interested in understanding hip replacement surgery and related treatments. Overall, this visually striking print captures both the technological advancements in medicine and the profound impact they have on improving human lives through enhanced mobility and pain relief.
