Bilateral Hip Replacement
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: If you have an AMS, you can easily print the bones in "Bone White" and the implants in "Silver" or "Steel" for a striking look.
- Easy Assembly: Designed to be intuitive to put together.
Recommended Print Settings
- Supports: Required (Tree/Organic supports recommended for the pelvic arches).
- Layer Height: 0.16mm - 0.20mm.
- Wall Loops: 3 for better structural strength.
- Material: PLA (Matte White for bones looks great).

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?
