Arthrosis of the hand, X-ray F006 / 4598
Coloured X-ray of the hand of a patient with arthrosis, 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 print showcases the intricate details of a hand affected by arthrosis, specifically highlighting the saddle joint. Arthrosis, a degenerative joint disease, inflicts damage upon both cartilage and bone. As the cartilage deteriorates over time, new bone growth occurs as part of the body's natural repair process. Unfortunately, this regrowth leads to stiffness and deformity in the fingers. The image captures the essence of this condition against a striking black background. The close-up shot allows viewers to observe every minute detail with precision - from each finger joint to the phalanges themselves. It serves as a reminder of how our bodies can be susceptible to illness and disease. In terms of treatment options for arthrosis patients, anti-inflammatory drugs are often prescribed to alleviate symptoms. However, severe cases may require surgical intervention. This photograph is not only visually stunning but also provides valuable insights into human anatomy and healthcare practices. Its scientific imaging offers an opportunity for medical professionals and researchers alike to study arthrosis deformans more closely.
