Hip Prosthesis Anatomical Model

🩻 Overview 🩻

This 3D-printable anatomical model offers a clear, high-contrast visual representation of a Total Hip Arthroplasty (Hip Replacement). Combining a detailed section of the hemipelvis and proximal femur with a realistic metallic-style implant, the model demonstrates how prosthetic components integrate directly into human skeletal anatomy.

The project is structured across 3 print plates and includes print profiles for both ACE (multi-color) and non-ACE (single-color modular) setups. Mounted on its dedicated display stand, it provides an unobstructed view of the artificial joint mechanism.

🧩 Print Profiles & Plate Breakdown

• 🎨 ACEMulti-Color Profile (Default / Recommended): Optimized for ACE to seamlessly print contrasting metallic prosthesis components directly integrated into the bone structure across 3 plates:
• Plate 1: Display Base
• Plate 2: Hemipelvis Section
• Plate 3: Proximal Femur & Embedded Prosthesis Assembly (Multi-Color ACE)

Included Anatomical & Prosthetic Components

• 🦴 Skeletal Structures: Anatomically accurate hemipelvis (acetabular region) and proximal femur section.
• 🦾 Prosthetic Implant System:
• Acetabular Cup & Shell: Positioned within the pelvic socket.
• Femoral Head & Neck: Replaces the natural femoral head to restore joint articulation.
• Femoral Stem: Anchored inside the canal of the proximal femur.
• 🏛️ Display Base: Custom stand designed to hold the assembly in a realistic functional orientation.

Intended Use

• Patient Education & Clinical Use: An outstanding visual tool for orthopedic surgeons, physiotherapists, and medical clinics to explain hip replacement procedures, implant positioning, and post-operative recovery.
• Medical Instruction: A practical, tactile aid for university lectures, anatomy classrooms, and surgical training demonstrations.
• Maker Showcase: An eye-catching print highlighting the contrast between organic bone structures and medical hardware.

💡 Print Settings & Recommendations

• Material: 100% standard PLA compatible (no TPU or flexible filaments required).
• Recommended Color Mapping:
• Bones: Bone White / Ivory PLA
• Prosthesis: Silk Silver / Metallic Grey PLA
• Display Base: Dark Grey / Matte Silver PLA
• Supports: Tree supports are recommended under the pelvic overhangs and the femoral neck joint area.
