Arthritic hip,computer artwork. The pain of the arthritic joint,and the inflamed area,is shown in red. Bones are blue. The hip joint is where the femur (the upper leg bone,head of femur is seen at centre) joins with the pelvic bones (part of the pelvis seen at upper right). Arthritis is a joint disease in which the joints become inflamed and painful. This is either because the body's immune system attacks them (rheumatoid arthritis) or through wear and tear (osteoarthritis). In severe cases,surgery can be carried out to replace the hip joint | |
