I don't have any pics-- but I live in a single-level "Ranch"-- basically because my wife's had 4 Total Hip Replacements-- First 2 were total failures, 3rd went well,4th still not right. She does not get around so good... stairs are not an option. ( Oh, yeah-- she's just 45 years old this year)
If you are curious-- here's a decent diagram.

Basically they disjoint you like a chicken-- and then put in steel and teflon parts.
Last surgeon she had was one of the very best on Earth -- Dr Gregory Brick.
Considered one of the best of the best, period. (New Zealander by birth)
He's an asst professor of Orthopedic Surgery at Harvard Medical School.... pretty good reference-- I'd say.
We still can't figure out that last surgery's failure--- except my wife's family has a history of osteoporosis he's afraid the bone's too weak.
