Total hip replacement. Frontal X-ray of the right hip of a 54-year-old man who has had the hip replaced. The shaft of the ceramic prosthetic implant is embedded into the femur (thigh bone) and articulates its ball component with an artificial hip socket (acetabulum) implanted into the adjacent bone (part of the pelvis). This operation is usually carried out to treat a condition such as osteoarthritis.
