Osteoarthritic hip, artwork
Artwork of bones of the hip (at left) and thigh (femur, at right) showing osteoarthritis of the hip joint stage C. Here, at the femoral head complete cartilage deterioration has occurred (eburnation), bony spurs are common, and there is a very narrow or absent joint space with hardening (sclerosis) of the bone. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease due to wear and tear on the joints

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork by Science Photo Library showcases the effects of osteoarthritis on the hip joint. The print features a detailed illustration of the bones in the hip and thigh, highlighting stage C osteoarthritis. At first glance, one can observe complete cartilage deterioration at the femoral head, resulting in eburnation - a process where bone surfaces become polished and smooth due to friction. Additionally, bony spurs are evident, which are common occurrences in this degenerative disease. The image also reveals a very narrow or absent joint space along with sclerosis or hardening of the bone. These characteristics further emphasize the severity of osteoarthritis and its impact on joint health. Osteoarthritis is primarily caused by wear and tear on joints over time. Through this art piece, Science Photo Library aims to provide an insightful visual representation for medical professionals and individuals seeking to understand this disorder better. It serves as both an educational tool for diagnosis purposes within healthcare settings and as an eye-catching addition to any collection focused on anatomy or medical conditions.
