Description
Pinned broken hip, coloured X-ray. The head of the patient's femur (thigh bone) has been surgically immobilised by inserting long pins (red) in the bone. This is known as internal fixation. It is important a bone is correctly aligned if it is to heal properly and avoid future complications.
