Pinned foot bones after surgery, X-ray
Pinned foot bones after surgery. Lateral (side view) X-ray showing pins (white) inserted into the bones of a patients foot. Pins have been inserted in to the heel bone (calcaneus), the tarsals and metatarsals, and the phalanges of the big toe. This type of surgery is done to correct deformities such as cavus foot, where the arch of the foot is too high. Pins and implants are also used in surgery to correct bunions and conditions such as hammer toe. For a foot like this being X-rayed during surgery, see image C014/7789. For an image showing insertion of a pin, see C014/7785

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable aftermath of foot surgery, revealing a lateral (side view) X-ray of pinned foot bones. The image vividly displays white pins meticulously inserted into various sections of the patient's foot, including the heel bone (calcaneus), tarsals and metatarsals, as well as the phalanges of the big toe. This particular surgical procedure aims to rectify deformities such as cavus foot, characterized by an excessively high arch. The utilization of pins and implants in orthopedic surgeries extends beyond cavus foot correction; they also play a crucial role in addressing conditions like bunions and hammer toe. This photograph provides a glimpse into the intricate world of medical intervention for these ailments. The monochrome radiography highlights every detail with precision, offering healthcare professionals an invaluable assessment tool during post-surgical evaluations. Antonia Reeve's expert capture not only documents this specific case but also serves as a testament to advancements in orthopedics. It is important to note that this image does not represent any commercial use or affiliation with a company. Instead, it stands as a testament to human ingenuity and our unwavering commitment to improving lives through medicine and surgical innovation.
