Arthrosis of the hand, X-ray F006 / 4595
Coloured X-ray of the hand of a patient with arthrosis of the hands. particularly the saddle joint. Arthrosis is a degenerative joint disease that damages cartilage and bone. As the cartilage is worn away, new bone grows as part of the repair process. This causes stiffness and deformity of the fingers. Treatment is with anti-inflammatory drugs and in severe cases surgery

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Arthrosis of the hand" offers a vivid glimpse into the intricate world of joint diseases. The image showcases a coloured X-ray of a patient's hand afflicted with arthrosis, specifically affecting the saddle joint. Arthrosis is a degenerative condition that wreaks havoc on both cartilage and bone within joints. As we observe this close-up shot, it becomes evident how arthrosis ravages the fingers, causing stiffness and deformity. The wear and tear on cartilage prompt new bone growth as part of the body's repair mechanism. However, this regrowth leads to further complications in mobility and appearance. In terms of treatment options for arthrosis, anti-inflammatory drugs are commonly prescribed to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation. In severe cases where conservative measures prove ineffective, surgery may be necessary to restore functionality. The blue background accentuates the radiographic details captured by an x-ray machine operated during this scientific imaging process. Every phalanx and finger joint can be discerned clearly in this remarkable display of human anatomy. This print not only serves as an educational tool for healthcare professionals but also highlights the challenges faced by individuals grappling with arthrosis deformans or gouty arthritis in their hands. It stands as a testament to ongoing research efforts aimed at improving diagnosis techniques and developing more effective treatments for those affected by these debilitating conditions.
