Knee injury, 3D CT scan C018 / 0648
Knee injury. Coloured 3D computed tomography (CT) scan of a knee with a meniscal tear (white line at right between bones). The menisci are fibrocartilage crescents that act as shock absorbers between the femur (thigh bone, top) and tibia (shin bone, bottom). A tear in a meniscus can be caused by trauma, most often a sports injury, or by wear and tear. Treatment depends on the severity of the tear. Minor tears may respond to physical therapy and anti-inflammatory drugs, but more serious injuries require surgical treatment

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a knee injury in all its intricate detail. The coloured 3D computed tomography (CT) scan reveals a meniscal tear, depicted as a distinct white line between the bones. Menisci, which are fibrocartilage crescents acting as shock absorbers between the femur and tibia, play a crucial role in maintaining joint health. The image highlights how trauma, often resulting from sports injuries or wear and tear over time, can lead to tears in these vital structures. Treatment options vary depending on the severity of the tear. Minor tears may respond well to physical therapy and anti-inflammatory drugs; however, more severe injuries usually require surgical intervention. Radiating an air of medical expertise and precision diagnosis, this photograph serves as both educational material and visual artistry. It captures the unhealthy state of the knee joint with remarkable clarity through advanced imaging techniques like CT scans. From its three-dimensional perspective to its detailed depiction of bone structure and cartilage damage, this image provides valuable insights into knee injuries for medical professionals and curious individuals alike. Its side view offers viewers an opportunity to understand the complex interplay between various components such as the tibia (shin bone), femur (thigh bone), meniscus, and surrounding tissues. Authored by ZEPHYR/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY – renowned for their commitment to scientific accuracy – this print stands as a testament to their dedication in capturing extraordinary moments within our human bodies without commercial intentions.
