Hip replacement implants. Different sizes of femoral implants laid out in preparation for a total hip replacement. Hips may need to be replaced due to injury,disease or deformity. These implants are used to replace the damaged head of the femur (thigh bone). The correct size is selected and implanted in a hole drilled in the end of the femur,where it is held in place with an adhesive cement. The grooves (white) help to hold the implant in place | |
