Abstract
The hip joint is located lateral to the gluteal region (i.e., the buttock), inferior to the iliac crest, and overlying the greater trochanter of the thigh bone. In adults, three of the bones of the pelvis have fused into the hip bone, which forms part of the hip region.

-
1.
Make a list of the varieties of designs of hip prostheses, and develop sketches of the designs. Describe the specific motivation behind each design.
-
2.
Give the reasoning for cementless hemihip arthoplasty. You will observe two holes in the Austin Moore stem. What is the rationale for having those two holes? The author has observed that breakage of such a hip occurred through such holes. Some surgeons argued new bones were formed through the holes for better anchorage. Do some research, getting X-rays of patients after several years of use of the hemihip.
-
3.
Hip joint replacement is the most successful and popular surgery worldwide. In terms of cost, this surgery is the cheapest in India. India has some world-class hospitals. Do a comparative study, and determine how health tourism could be improved to boost the Indian economy.
-
4.
What modifications will be desired in the hip for the Eastern populace when compared to Westerners? Remember, in Asia people squat and sit cross-legged (hint: ante-version angle of the hip).
-
5.
How will you design and manufacture a customized (i.e., personalized) hip prosthesis?
Hint: This can be done using computerized tomographic data of the hip in question using image processing software like MIMICS in conjunction with ANSYS. Then it has to be given to a computer-aided manufacturing center that has a CNC workstation. This can also be done using LENS (laser-engineered net shaping) technology.
Readers may look into the Ph.D. (BESU) thesis of Ujjal Bhanu Ghosh, entitled, “Personalized Human Joint Prosthesis Design, Analysis and Manufacture Using CT-Data, FEM and NC-Technology,” which was completed it in January 2011 under a DST, Govt. of India-funded project of the author conducted at Jadavpur University.
