Framed Print : Broken leg
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Broken leg
Broken leg. Coloured X-ray showing multiple fractures (centre) to the lower leg. Both the tibia (the thicker bone, foreground) and the fibula have been broken. Fractures are usually caused by a severe force, such as a fall. In most cases a fracture is repaired by a surgical operation performed under anaesthesia. The bone ends are realigned and immobilized, sometimes with metal pins or plates, to allow the broken pieces to reunite firmly. In an adult a weight-bearing bone such as the tibia may take up to six months to knit together completely. Also seen in the image are the bones of the foot at bottom centre

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of a broken leg. The coloured X-ray reveals multiple fractures in the lower leg, specifically in both the tibia and fibula bones. Such fractures are typically caused by a significant force, often resulting from a fall or accident. In most cases, repairing a fracture requires a surgical operation performed under anaesthesia. Skilled surgeons realign and immobilize the bone ends using metal pins or plates to facilitate firm reunification of the broken pieces. This meticulous process allows for proper healing and restoration of functionality. The image also offers a glimpse into the complexity of our skeletal structure, as we can observe other bones within the foot at its bottom center. It serves as an important reminder of how interconnected our bodies truly are. Healing time for weight-bearing bones like the tibia can be extensive, with complete knitting together taking up to six months in adults. This highlights both the resilience and fragility of our bodies, emphasizing why prompt medical attention is crucial when faced with such injuries. Science Photo Library continues to provide invaluable visual resources that aid in understanding various conditions and disorders within medicine and healthcare.
