Broken collar bone, X-ray

Broken collar bone. Coloured frontal X-ray of a patient with a fractured left collar bone (clavicle). The fracture is at the top right of the shoulder. The clavicle articulates the sternum (not seen) and the scapula (shoulder blade). Treatment is by immobilising the arm and shoulder with a strap. The bones may also need to be pinned

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured frontal X-ray of a patient with a broken collar bone. The fracture is visibly located at the top right of the shoulder, highlighting the delicate nature of this injury. The clavicle, which connects the sternum and shoulder blade, can be seen in vibrant detail. In terms of treatment, immobilization plays a crucial role. The arm and shoulder are carefully secured using a strap to promote healing and prevent further damage. In some cases, pinning may also be necessary to ensure proper alignment and stability. The image's pink hues add an artistic touch to this otherwise clinical depiction of human anatomy. It serves as a powerful reminder of both the fragility and resilience of our bodies. X-rays have long been an essential tool in medical diagnostics, aiding healthcare professionals in accurately diagnosing various conditions and disorders affecting bones and joints. This particular X-ray machine captured not only the fractured clavicle but also provides valuable insight into neighboring structures such as the humerus. Science Photo Library has once again delivered an extraordinary visual representation that merges science with artistry, shedding light on important aspects of health care while showcasing their expertise in capturing stunning imagery from within our own bodies.
