Osteoarthritis of hip joints, X-ray
Hip joint osteoarthritis. Coloured X-ray of the pelvis of a 72-year-old woman showing areas of osteoarthritis of the hip joints (orange). The ball-and-socket joints of the two femurs (upper leg bones, lower left and right) are usually smooth in appearance and the ball of the femur is separated from its socket in the pelvis by friction-reducing cartilage. Here, osteoarthritis has caused the cartilage to wear away, causing the joint space to become narrowed in places with erosion of the bone. The joints stiffen and get painful. Osteoarthritis is common in people over the age of 60 with more women than men suffering. Symptoms can be relieved with anti-inflammatory drugs, although hip replacement surgery may eventually be necessary

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the effects of osteoarthritis on the hip joints of a 72-year-old woman. The colored X-ray reveals areas of concern as orange patches, indicating where osteoarthritis has taken its toll. Normally, the ball-and-socket joints in the hips appear smooth and are separated by cartilage that reduces friction. However, in this case, osteoarthritis has caused significant wear and tear on the cartilage, resulting in narrowed joint spaces and erosion of bone. As a result of this degenerative condition, the affected joints become stiff and painful for the woman. Osteoarthritis is prevalent among individuals over 60 years old, with women being more susceptible than men. While anti-inflammatory drugs can provide some relief from symptoms initially, it may eventually be necessary for her to undergo hip replacement surgery. This image serves as a powerful visual representation of musculoskeletal disorders like osteoarthritis and highlights their impact on an individual's health and mobility. By capturing these intricate details through diagnostic radiography techniques such as X-rays, medical professionals gain valuable insights into diagnosing conditions accurately. Science Photo Library presents this photograph to shed light on one aspect of healthcare—diagnosing skeletal disorders—and emphasizes how advancements in medical imaging contribute to improved patient care.
