Dislocated hip replacement. Frontal X-ray of the pelvis of a patient with bi-lateral (both sides) total hip replacements. The right joint replacement (right) has become dislocated. The metal ball-and-shaft implant (solid white) in the thigh bone (femur) has pushed out of the artificial socket (cup-shaped, centre right) with which it should articulate and form a joint in the pelvis.
