Fine Art Print : Osteoarthritic pelvis, X-ray
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Osteoarthritic pelvis, X-ray
Osteoarthritis. Coloured X-ray of the pelvis of a 52-year-old man showing areas of osteoarthritis (orange). The two femurs (upper leg bones, lower left and right) are usually separated from their sockets in the pelvis by friction-reducing cartilage. Here, osteoarthritis has caused the cartilage to wear away, causing the joint spaces to become narrowed with erosion of the ball joints of the pelvis. The joints get stiff and painful. Osteoarthritis is common in people over the age of 60 with more women than men suffering. Symptoms can be relieved with painkilling and anti- inflammatory drugs, and physiotherapy, although surgery may also be necessary

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases an osteoarthritic pelvis, providing a vivid visual representation of the effects of this debilitating condition. The X-ray reveals areas of osteoarthritis in vibrant orange hues, highlighting the significant impact on the skeletal structure. The image focuses on the pelvis of a 52-year-old man, demonstrating how osteoarthritis has led to the erosion and narrowing of joint spaces. Normally separated by friction-reducing cartilage, here we witness the wear and tear caused by this disease as it strips away that protective layer. Consequently, the ball joints within the pelvis suffer damage, resulting in stiffness and excruciating pain for individuals afflicted with this condition. Osteoarthritis primarily affects people over 60 years old, with women being more susceptible than men. While symptoms can be alleviated through painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs, physiotherapy interventions; surgery may become necessary for some patients. This photograph serves as a powerful diagnostic tool for medical professionals studying musculoskeletal disorders. It provides valuable insights into bone health conditions such as arthritis while emphasizing both patient experiences and potential treatment options available within healthcare settings. Science Photo Library's commitment to capturing these intricate details enables researchers and practitioners alike to deepen their understanding of diseases like osteoarthritis—ultimately contributing to advancements in diagnosis and care strategies across various medical disciplines.
