Hip replacement, artwork
Hip replacement. Artwork of a prosthetic hip joint socket in a pelvis. The prosthetic femur (thigh bone) head will fit into this socket, forming the hip joint. 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 artwork, titled "Hip Replacement" showcases a detailed illustration of a prosthetic hip joint socket embedded in a pelvis. The artist has brilliantly captured the intricate design and functionality of this medical marvel. The focal point of the image is the prosthetic femur head, which seamlessly fits into the socket, forming a fully functional hip joint. This artistic representation sheds light on one of the most common reasons for hip replacements - osteoarthritis.
