A hip implantation structure, comprising a stem and a femoral head, the femoral head comprising a plurality of grooves, an outer acetabular cup and an inner liner, wherein presence of the inner liner and plurality of
grooves on the femoral head reduces friction and thereby reduces wear of the hip implantation structure. The hip implantation structure is used for total hip arthroplasty. The plurality of grooves on the femoral head comprises a plurality of hemispherical grooves of varying widths, and
debris produced by the inner liner gets trapped inside the plurality of grooves, resulting in a reduced chance of adhesive wear.
