Prosthetic hip joint and Gruen zones C016 / 6776
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 an SHP prosthesis, using bone cement (green). For a set of diagrams with Gruen zones, 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 surgically implanted in the femur after removing the head of the bone. Although not shown, there are other components like a rounded ball that fits into the socket implanted in the patient's pelvis. The diagram serves as an invaluable tool for assessing bone mineral density (BMD) following total hip replacement surgery. The Gruen zones, clearly labeled within the illustration, help medical professionals evaluate BMD in specific areas surrounding the implant. Highlighted against a crisp white background, this artwork represents advancements in artificial technology and surgical techniques used to repair and replace damaged hips. It exemplifies how medicine and technology work hand-in-hand to improve patients' quality of life. With its intricate detailing and precise labeling, this image provides valuable insights into orthopedic procedures such as arthroplasty or total hip replacement surgeries. Additionally, it emphasizes key elements like bone cement (green), which is utilized in SHP prostheses. Overall, this scientific depiction offers an informative glimpse into internal structures while showcasing cutting-edge equipment used by medical professionals to treat conditions such as osteoarthritis or severe arthritis affecting the hip joint.
