Double hip replacement, X-ray C016 / 6446
Double hip replacement. Coloured X-ray of the pelvis of a 63 year old male patient who has had two total hip replacements. Each prosthetic hip joint consists of a shaft and ball (purple) attached to the top of the femur (thigh bone) and a socket (brown and orange semi-circle) that is inserted into the pelvis. The majority of hip replacements are a result of osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease that results in the loss of cartilage between the joint and the growth of bone in place of the cartilage. This causes pain, stiffness and loss of mobility

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a double hip replacement. The image features a colored X-ray of the pelvis belonging to a 63-year-old male patient who underwent two total hip replacements. Each prosthetic hip joint is composed of a purple shaft and ball, which are attached to the top of the femur (thigh bone), as well as a brown and orange semi-circle socket inserted into the pelvis. The majority of hip replacements are necessitated by osteoarthritis, an age-related degenerative joint disease that leads to cartilage loss between joints and subsequent bone growth in its place. This condition causes immense pain, stiffness, and restricts mobility for patients. In this remarkable visual representation, we witness how modern medicine has provided relief for individuals suffering from such ailments. The artificial hips depicted here serve as life-changing interventions that restore functionality and alleviate discomfort. Radiography plays an essential role in orthopedics, enabling healthcare professionals to accurately diagnose conditions like these and determine appropriate treatment plans. By capturing this moment through an X-ray machine's lens, ZEPHYR/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY offers us insight into medical advancements that enhance quality of life for countless individuals worldwide.
