Fractured shoulder, X-rays

Shoulder fracture, coloured X-rays. The joint is seen from the side at left and from the front at right. The joint has not been dislocated by the fracture, which is below the head of the humerus (upper arm bone). The other two bones forming the shoulder are the scapula, or shoulder blade, with which the humerus articulates, and the clavicle, or collarbone, which runs above both

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a fractured shoulder, revealing the intricate details of the injury through colored X-rays. The image presents two perspectives: one from the side and another from the front, providing a comprehensive view of the joint. Remarkably, despite the fracture occurring below the head of the humerus (the upper arm bone), there is no dislocation visible. The shoulder joint is composed of three crucial bones - the humerus, scapula (shoulder blade), and clavicle (collarbone). These elements work in harmony to facilitate movement and stability within our shoulders. In this particular case, it's evident that only one component has been affected by this unfortunate break. This photograph serves as a testament to both medical expertise and technological advancements in radiography. It offers valuable insights into bone fractures while highlighting their impact on our overall health and well-being. By capturing such detailed imagery with an x-ray machine, healthcare professionals can accurately diagnose conditions like these fractures. As we observe this mesmerizing print, let us appreciate not only its scientific significance but also recognize how vital proper care and treatment are for individuals experiencing similar injuries. Through continued research and innovation in medicine, we strive towards enhancing patient outcomes and ensuring optimal recovery for those facing bone disorders or injuries like this fractured shoulder.
