Bilateral Hip Replacement - Educational Anatomy Model

This is a 3D-printable representation of a human pelvis featuring bilateral hip prosthetics.

Important Note on Accuracy

⚠️ Disclaimer: This model was not derived from a CT scan (DICOM). It is a custom-modeled artistic representation. While it provides a clear visual of how a total hip arthroplasty (THA) is structured within the pelvis, it is not intended for medical diagnostic or surgical planning purposes.

Why download this model?

Despite not being a 1:1 medical scan, this model is an excellent educational tool. It clearly illustrates:

The placement of the femoral stems within the femur.
How the ball joints interact with the acetabular cups.
The general structure of the human pelvis in relation to orthopedic implants.

It’s perfect for students, teachers, or as a visual aid for patients to understand the basics of hip replacement surgery.

Features

Clear Visualization: Distinguishes between the bone structure and the mechanical implants.
Great for Multi-Color: You can easily print the bones in "Bone White" and the implants in "Silver" or "Steel" for a striking look.

Feedback helps me improve future versions

Future Plans & Feedback

I am currently working on improving this design! My goal is to create a fully articulated version where the hip joint can actually move and rotate, mimicking real human biomechanics.

I’d love to hear from you: * Did you find this model useful?

Would you be interested in a functional, articulated version of this hip prosthesis?
