Osteoporosis of the hip, X-ray
Osteoporosis. Coloured X-ray of the hip of a 43 year old woman showing reduced bone density (brown patchy area) in the head of the thigh bone (femur, centre right). This is known as " brittle bone disease" or osteoporosis. In osteoporosis the bones lose mass, becoming weak and brittle, and the head of the femur is a common place for an osteoporotic fracture. Osteoporosis occurs most frequently in women after the menopause, as the ovaries cease production of the oestrogen hormones that help maintain bone mass. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may help to reduce bone loss, while regular exercises keep joints strong and supple

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the effects of osteoporosis on the hip of a 43-year-old woman. The coloured X-ray reveals a brown patchy area, indicating reduced bone density in the head of her thigh bone (femur). Osteoporosis, also known as "brittle bone disease" is a condition where bones lose mass and become weak and brittle. Unfortunately, the femur's head is particularly susceptible to fractures caused by this degenerative disorder. Primarily affecting women after menopause, osteoporosis occurs when the ovaries stop producing estrogen hormones that help maintain bone mass. However, there are potential remedies to combat this condition. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may assist in reducing further bone loss while regular exercises can keep joints strong and supple. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of maintaining optimal bone health throughout our lives. It highlights both the fragility and resilience of our skeletal system while underscoring how crucial it is for women to prioritize their well-being during and after menopause. Captured by Science Photo Library, this photograph not only educates viewers about osteoporosis but also emphasizes the significance of early detection and proactive measures to prevent its progression.
