Fitting Your Unique Anatomy

Your Anatomy Is Unique

It may not surprise you that a woman’s hip is anatomically different than that of a man’s. However, did you realize there are even variations among women? Height, weight, bone structure, lifestyle, and medical conditions all contribute to these differences. For example, a woman’s femur (thigh bone) can vary significantly in length, width, neck length, and head diameter (see the figure below). The implant your surgeon uses needs to account for these important anatomical differences whether you are a woman or a man.
