False-colour x-ray (frontal view ) of the cervical spine showing an artificial (prosthetic) intervertebral disc to replace a herniated (ruptured) disc

Replacement ankle joint, artwork
Replacement ankle joint. Artwork showing the location of a prosthetic ankle joint. This device is used to replace a worn or damaged joint

Angioplasty, artwork
Angioplasty. Artwork showing two treatments for stenosis (narrowing) of arteries. At left is balloon angioplasty, where a balloon catheter is inserted into the affected artery

Elbow replacement, artwork
Elbow replacement. Artwork showing a prosthetic elbow joint in place. The elbow joint is formed by the articulation of the humerus (upper arm bone) and the ulna and radius (lower arm bones)

Heart disease treatment, artwork
Heart disease treatment. Artwork showing three treatments for stenosis (narrowing) of coronary arteries. At top left is balloon angioplasty

Knee replacement alignment, artwork
Knee replacement alignment. Artwork showing an instrument being used to determine the correct positioning of a partial knee replacement

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

Prosthetic shafts for hip replacement
Prosthetic shaft for hip replacement. These prostheses are inserted into the femur (thigh bone). They will have a ball attached at the top, which will form part of the hip joint

Partial knee replacement, artwork
Partial knee replacement. Artwork showing a partial knee replacement being fitted. A partial knee replacement is carried out when only one side of the knee is damaged or diseased

Ectopic hydrocephalic shunt, X-ray
Ectopic hydrocephalic shunt. Coloured X-ray of the pelvis of a patient, showing an ectopic (abnormally positioned) hydrocephalic shunt (orange)

Fractured femur, X-ray
Fractured femur. X-ray of a patient with a total hip replacement who has fractured their femur (thigh bone). The fracture (centre right) has occurred towards the end of the implant (solid white)

Dislocated hip replacement, X-ray
Dislocated hip replacement. Frontal X-ray of the pelvis of a patient with bi-lateral (both sides) total hip replacements. The right joint replacement (right) has become dislocated

Ectopic hydrocephalic shunt, 3D MRI scan
Ectopic hydrocephalic shunt. Coloured 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the pelvis of a patient, showing an ectopic (abnormally positioned) hydrocephalic shunt (ring, centre)

Cybernetic arm, composite image. The mans right arm has been replaced by a robotic one. This represents the development of prosthetic limbs that can not only be controlled by the patients nervous

Dislocated hip prosthesis, X-ray
Coloured X-ray (front view) of the pelvis of a patient, showing the dislocation of an artificial (prosthetic) total hip joint replacement

Artificial hand and arm apparatus
