Jigsaw Puzzle : Double hip replacement, X-ray
Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
Double hip replacement, X-ray
Double hip replacement. Coloured X-ray of a female patients hips with two prosthetic hip implants (white). Each implant is embedded in a hole drilled into its femur (thigh bone, lower left and right). The head of each femur has been removed and each femurs articulation (joint) with the pelvis (upper centre) has been replaced by the head of its implant (round). Each head rotates in an artificial socket (dark brown) that has been fitted in each old pelvic hip socket. This mimics the old ball-and-socket joint, which is often replaced due to arthritis or severe injury, and restores much of the mobility that was lost

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable medical achievement - a double hip replacement surgery. The X-ray image reveals the hips of a female patient, now equipped with two prosthetic hip implants in place of her original joints. Each implant is securely embedded into holes drilled into the femurs (thigh bones), while the heads of these femurs have been removed and replaced by the round heads of their respective implants. To restore mobility that was lost due to arthritis or severe injury, each artificial head articulates within an artificial socket fitted into the old pelvic hip socket. This mimics the functionality of the natural ball-and-socket joint, allowing for improved movement and alleviating musculoskeletal disorders. The colored X-ray highlights this groundbreaking treatment from a front view perspective, emphasizing its significance in healthcare and medicine. It serves as a testament to modern advancements in orthopedic surgery and prosthesis development. With osteoarthritis being one common reason for such procedures, this image stands as a symbol of hope for those suffering from debilitating conditions affecting their legs' bone structure. Through innovative devices like these implants, individuals can regain independence and improve their overall quality of life. Captured by Science Photo Library, this powerful visual representation underscores both medical progress and human resilience when faced with physical challenges.
