During hip replacement surgery, the head of your femur is sawed off. It really is that simple.

Of course, your bone is classified as biohazardous waste. The ‘waste’ is typically placed into a biohazard bag hung on a hamper stand in a surgery suite and the bag removed from the hamper stand after completion of the procedure, taken out of the surgery suite, and placed into a biohazard container stored in a soiled utility room or other biohazard waste storage area.

But on the other hand, ‘waste not, want not…’
