Acetabular Cup and Hardware Placement During Hip Exposure - Medical Illustration, Human Anatomy Drawing
This medical illustration depicts a total hip replacement procedure, specifically the implantation of the acetabular and femoral prosthetic components. The surgical exposure reveals the proximal femur and acetabulum after dislocation of the hip joint. The femoral head has been removed, and the acetabular component of the prosthetic hip is implanted into the prepared acetabulum. The femoral stem with a modular head is also shown, awaiting insertion into the medullary canal of the femur. Soft tissue structures, including muscles and connective tissue, are visible around the surgical site. The illustration highlights the key steps of hip arthroplasty, demonstrating prosthetic alignment and fixation.
