Car vs. house
This is what can happen when the car you are joyriding in runs into a house while you are running from the police.
One of these hips is not like the other. The head of the patient's right femur (the one on the left of the image) is inside the pelvis, which is, as you might imagine, a suboptimal location for the femur.
It turned out that the patient was bleeding extensively from the left side of his pelvis, and needed the arteries that were bleeding blocked off. This was done by feeding a small tube through an artery in the right groin, putting the tube into the artery that was bleeding, then putting metal coils and small fragments of material that encourages clotting into the artery.

Self-explanatory title for this post.
One of the many weird skeletal malformations that can occur.
