artificial hip
Surgical leg socket
An artificial hip is a prosthetic joint surgically implanted to replace a damaged or diseased hip.
Hip replacement is one of the most common orthopedic procedures, typically performed when arthritis or injury causes chronic pain and limited mobility: My grandmother got an artificial hip at seventy and was walking again within weeks.
