| The patient is prepared for surgery. | The incision is made over the Greater Trochanter of the femur. | The muscles of the hip are gently separated along muscle divisions. |
 |  |  |
| The hip joint capsule is identified and incised. Synovial fluid leaks from the joint space. | The head of the femur is isolated and examined and the incision line is determined. | Stainless steel bone chisels are utilized to slice through the femoral neck. |
 |  |  |
| (Zoom View) The femoral head and neck are removed and any rough or sharp edges are smoothed and arthritic tissue is excised. | The incision is closed in layers beginning with the joint capsule and ending with the skin. | The Femoral Head and fragments of the neck are displayed after the surgery. |
