The image displays a pelvic view with two femoral heads: the left shows a smooth, well-cushioned healthy hip joint with intact articular cartilage and normal joint space, while the right reveals an arthritic hip characterized by cartilage degradation, osteophyte (bone spur) formation, and narrowed joint间隙. Both labels are presented in blue speech bubbles for clear visual contrast, aiding patient education and clinical explanation.
