Prosthetic hip joint and Gruen zones C016 / 6778
Prosthetic hip joint and Gruen zones. Cutaway diagram of a femur (thigh bone) showing a femoral component of a hip prosthesis and labels indicating Gruen zones. The femoral component is implanted in the femur after the head of the femur has been surgically removed. The other components of the hip joint are a rounded ball to fit into the socket implanted in the patients pelvis (not shown). Gruen zones are used to assess bone mineral density (BMD) after total hip replacement surgery. This is a Symax prosthesis fitted without bone cement. For a set of Gruen zone diagrams, see C016/6776 to C016/6781

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed cutaway diagram of a prosthetic hip joint and Gruen zones. The image focuses on the femoral component of the hip prosthesis, which is implanted in the thigh bone after surgical removal of its head. While other components like the rounded ball fitting into the pelvic socket are not shown, this illustration provides an insightful glimpse into the internal workings of this remarkable medical device. The labeled Gruen zones depicted in this artwork play a crucial role in assessing bone mineral density (BMD) following total hip replacement surgery. By evaluating these specific areas, doctors can monitor and ensure proper healing and integration of the implant with surrounding bone tissue. What makes this particular prosthetic hip joint intriguing is that it is fitted without bone cement, making it a technological advancement in orthopedic medicine. This innovative Symax prosthesis offers patients improved mobility and functionality while reducing potential complications associated with traditional cemented implants. With its clean white background and precise detailing, this print captures both the scientific precision and artistic beauty inherent in medical illustrations. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity as we continue to develop cutting-edge solutions for repairing damaged joints and enhancing quality of life through advancements in orthopedic technology.
