Acetabular Prosthesis - Medical Illustration, Human Anatomy Drawing
This medical illustration depicts a hip implant, specifically the acetabular component of a total hip replacement, fixed into the pelvic bone. The acetabular cup, shown as a metallic and polyethylene structure, is securely placed in the acetabulum of the pelvis, replacing the natural socket of the hip joint. The implant serves to facilitate smooth articulation with the femoral head component of the prosthetic hip joint. The image highlights the integration of the artificial socket with the surrounding bony structures, demonstrating its role in restoring hip function and mobility.
