Total Hip Replacement

I'm pretty sure that this is the first origami model of this subject! Have just spent six months working as a junior Orthopaedic doctor, I assisted in surgery to put many joint replacements into patient, hip replacements being the most common. My consultant supervisor, Mr Rawlins, challenged me to come up with a design - he was rather impressed with the final result.
