Proximal femoral replacement. Computer illustration showing the prosthesis in place after a proximal femoral replacement. The top of the left femur (thigh bone) and the hip joint have been replaced with a metal shaft and joint. This procedure is carried out when there is significant bone loss or damage in the upper femur. This loss or damage may be due to bone tumours or a failed total hip replacement, among other conditions. | |
