Coloured X-ray (front view) of the pelvis of a patient aged 63, showing two total hip replacements. Each hip has been fitted with an artificial (prosthetic) socket and each thigh bone (femur) has been fitted with a ball and shaft, to form two new articulating joints. The prostheses differ in size and the method by which they have been fixed into the bone in this patient.
