Hip bones, X-ray
Hip joints. Coloured X-ray of a womans groin and upper legs, revealing the bones that form her hip joints. The left hip (identical to the right one) is at upper left in this rear view. It is a ball- and-socket joint that provides the mobility needed for walking and running. The socket is a cavity in a bone of the pelvis, a set of bones that join to the spine in the main body torso. The ball of the hip joint is the head of the femur (thigh bone). This head is seen joined by a neck to the rest of the femur, the long bone descending down left. The same structures form the right hip joint. The base of the spine is at top centre, and the distinctive loops at the base of the pelvis are also seen

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a woman's hip bones through a colored X-ray. From a rear view, we are presented with an astonishing display of the bones that form her hip joints. The left hip, which is identical to the right one, can be observed at the upper left corner of the image. The hip joint plays a crucial role in providing mobility for activities such as walking and running. It is a remarkable ball-and-socket joint where the socket resides within a pelvic bone cavity. These pelvic bones connect to the spine in our main body torso. At the center top of this image lies the base of the spine, while below it we witness distinctive loops that define the base of our pelvis. The head of femur, or thigh bone, forms an integral part of this joint structure and can be seen connected by its neck to rest of femur descending down towards our left side. This photograph not only offers us insight into normal anatomy but also serves as a reminder of how intricately designed our bodies are. It highlights both strength and delicacy simultaneously - showcasing nature's masterpiece within each individual's unique skeletal framework.
