Spinal osteoporosis
Curved spine in osteoporosis. Computer-enhanced X-ray of the curved and deformed thoracic spine of a woman suffering from osteoporosis. In this bone disease the vertebrae (centre) have taken on a wedge-shape and have compressed. Crumbling of the bones may also occur with loss of bone density. This has led to severe spinal curvature, loss of height, and may cause pain. Osteoporosis is due to a loss of protein tissue from bone, making bones brittle and liable to fracture. The disease is most common and severe in post- menopausal women due to low oestrogen hormone levels which help to maintain bone mass. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a treatment

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the devastating effects of spinal osteoporosis on a woman's thoracic spine. The computer-enhanced X-ray reveals a curved and deformed spine, highlighting the severity of this bone disease. Osteoporosis is characterized by wedge-shaped vertebrae that have compressed, leading to crumbling bones and loss of bone density. As a result, the woman in the image experiences severe spinal curvature, height loss, and potential pain. This condition occurs due to a loss of protein tissue from bones, rendering them brittle and prone to fractures. Post-menopausal women are particularly susceptible to this disease as their low estrogen hormone levels contribute to decreased bone mass. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) serves as an effective treatment for combating osteoporosis. The visual representation emphasizes the importance of understanding this disorder within the context of medicine and anatomy. It highlights both the fragility and resilience of our skeletal system while shedding light on health care practices aimed at managing such conditions. Science Photo Library provides valuable scientific resources like this print that educates viewers about diseases like osteoporosis without commercial intentions. Through images like these, we gain insight into various medical conditions affecting the human body's intricate systems while promoting awareness for better healthcare practices.
