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. Prosthetic hip joints are used to replace diseased hip joints that have become stiff and painful as a result of arthritis or injury. In a hip replacement, the " ball" at the end of the thigh bone is removed and the " socket" in the pelvis is enlarged. The artificial components are then cemented in their place, the shaft fitting into a specially made hollow inside the thigh bone. Hip replacement is a successful operation that has transformed many lives, but the long-term outlook is uncertain as the artificial joint may loosen with time

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an artificial hip joint, a remarkable prosthetic marvel that has revolutionized the lives of countless individuals. The image captures the intricate design and functionality of this medical masterpiece. A metal shaft, depicted in black, culminates in a gleaming silver ball that is securely embedded within a plastic socket. Prosthetic hip joints play a crucial role in restoring mobility and alleviating pain for those suffering from arthritis or injury-induced stiffness. In a hip replacement procedure, the deteriorated "ball" at the end of the thigh bone is carefully removed, while simultaneously enlarging the corresponding "socket" within the pelvis. The meticulously crafted artificial components are then firmly cemented into place, with the metal shaft fitting snugly into a specially designed hollow inside the thigh bone. Hip replacement surgery has emerged as an immensely successful operation that has transformed numerous lives. However, it is important to note that long-term outcomes remain uncertain due to potential loosening of the artificial joint over time. This thought-provoking photograph serves as both an educational tool and an artistic representation of medical ingenuity. It highlights how science and technology have collaborated to create life-changing solutions for individuals facing debilitating hip conditions. Science Photo Library continues to capture such extraordinary moments in healthcare through their lens, shedding light on these incredible advancements without any commercial intent or affiliation mentioned here.
