What's the difference between a right and a left hip joint replacement?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hip left vs right: Most femoral stem joint implants are "sided" with a specific version, or take-off, of the neck/stem. The sockets are usually the same on right and left, just angled and verted/rotated to the appropriate angle.
