Explanted Total Hip Replacement ready to be sterilized and cleaned for analysis
A little gory, I know. But this is what I face at work every week. It gets soaked in ethanol, then all cleaned up.
This particular implant is a total hip replacement with a conventional polyethylene liner, that has some clear backside wear. This was a fresh arrival, so its a little bloodier than I usually receive. I thought it make for a dramatic image, however.
