Hip socket bone grafting, diagram C016 / 6785
Hip socket bone grafting. Diagram showing the third stage in hip socket bone grafting as part of a total hip replacement operation. A metal mesh liner has been placed in the acetabulum (hip socket) in the patients pelvis. Defects in the bone are filled with vigorously impacted morsellised cancellous bone (fragments). This is followed by fitting (using grey bone cement) and compression of the socket implant (acetabular cup) into which the ball of the femoral implant (not shown) fits. For a sequence showing the process, see images C016/6783 to C016/6786

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate process of hip socket bone grafting, a crucial step in total hip replacement surgery. The diagram, labeled C016 / 6785, depicts the third stage of this transformative operation. In the image, we witness a metal mesh liner being delicately placed within the acetabulum (hip socket) of a patient's pelvis. To address any defects in the bone, vigorously impacted morsellised cancellous bone fragments are meticulously filled into these areas. Following this meticulous procedure, a grey bone cement is applied to secure and compress the socket implant (acetabular cup), which will eventually accommodate the ball of the femoral implant. The photograph offers an insightful glimpse into this complex sequence by highlighting key elements such as surgical tools and equipment against a clean white background. It emphasizes both technological advancements and medical expertise involved in orthopedic procedures like hip replacements. With its detailed illustration and precise depiction of each layer and component involved in hip socket bone grafting, this artwork serves as an invaluable resource for professionals in orthopaedics and materials science alike. By showcasing cutting-edge techniques such as bioceramic implants and screws used during arthroplasty surgeries, it underscores how innovation continues to drive progress in prosthetics and joint repair. Overall, D & L GRAPHICS' print from Science Photo Library provides an educational visual aid that sheds light on one aspect of modern medicine's ongoing quest to enhance quality of life through advanced surgical interventions.
