Hip joint bones and anatomy, artwork C014 / 2031
Hip joint bones and anatomy. Artwork of the bones that form the two hip joints (right and left). The hip is a ball-and-socket joint that provides the mobility needed for walking and running. The hip socket is a cavity in the acetabulum bone of the pelvis, a set of bones that join to the spine in the main body torso. The ball of the hip joint, shown disarticulated at left, is the head of the femur (thigh bone). This head is joined by a neck to the femoral shaft. The base of the spine is at top centre, including lower vertebrae and the sacrum and coccyx. Other prominent pelvis bones are the ilium (wing-shaped, above hip) and ischium (loop, below hip)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and fascinating anatomy of the hip joint. The artwork, titled C014 / 2031, provides a detailed illustration of the bones that form both the right and left hip joints. The hip joint is a remarkable ball-and-socket joint that plays a crucial role in our ability to walk and run with ease. It consists of the acetabulum bone, which forms a socket-like cavity in the pelvis. This set of bones connects to the spine in our main body torso. In this disarticulated depiction, we can observe the head of the femur (thigh bone) at left, joined by its neck to the femoral shaft. At top center lies the base of our spine, including lower vertebrae as well as sacrum and coccyx. Prominent pelvic bones such as ilium (wing-shaped above hip) and ischium (loop below hip) are also highlighted within this artistic representation. With its white background contrasting against skeletal structures rendered in meticulous detail, this print offers an insightful glimpse into human biology. It serves as a reminder of how essential healthy hips are for maintaining mobility and performing various physical activities. Overall, Claus Lunau's artwork beautifully captures not only anatomical accuracy but also conveys scientific knowledge about joints' articulation while showcasing their aesthetic appeal through his skillful illustrations.
