Fractured palm bones of hand, X-ray
Fractured palm bones. Coloured X-ray of the hand of a 35 year old man showing three fractured meta- carpal bones. The skeleton of the hand is seen, with fingers bones (phalanges) at upper frame and wrist bones (carpals) at bottom centre. Five metacarpal bones make up the palm of the hand, of which three reveal oblique (slanted) fractures. The site of each fracture is where the bone is not continuous; two fractures reveal fragmentation of the bone. Multiple fractures such as these may be due to a crush injury

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of a fractured palm in vivid color. The X-ray image reveals the hand of a 35-year-old man, highlighting three fractured metacarpal bones. At first glance, the skeletal structure of the hand is visible, with finger bones elegantly positioned at the upper frame and wrist bones centered at the bottom. The palm consists of five metacarpal bones, three of which display oblique fractures that slant across their surface. These fractures disrupt the continuous flow of bone, resulting in two instances where fragmentation has occurred. Such multiple fractures are often indicative of a crush injury. In this medical marvel, radiography provides invaluable insight into bone health and conditions affecting our hands. The false-colored X-ray allows for enhanced visualization and analysis by healthcare professionals specializing in radiology. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image captured by Science Photo Library, we cannot help but appreciate its significance within medicine and our understanding of injuries like these. It serves as a reminder that even within our own bodies lies an intricate network vulnerable to harm yet resilient enough to heal over time with proper care and treatment.
