Coloured X-ray of hip fracture due to osteoporosis
Osteoporosis fracture. Coloured X-ray of the hip of an elderly woman with a fracture (centre left, yellow) caused by osteoporosis (brittle bone disease). The femur (thigh bone, lower right) articulates with the pelvis at the hip socket (centre). Osteoporosis causes a loss in bone density, making the bones thinner, more brittle and more likely to break. In this case the pubis bone of the pelvis was fractured by a fall. Osteoporosis is most common in women after the menopause as their ovaries no longer produce the oestrogen hormones which help to maintain bone mass

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the devastating effects of osteoporosis on an elderly woman's hip. The vibrant colors highlight a fracture (yellow) caused by this debilitating bone disease, emphasizing the severity of the condition. Osteoporosis, known as brittle bone disease, leads to a loss in bone density and makes bones thinner and more susceptible to fractures. In this particular case, a fall resulted in a fractured pubis bone of the pelvis. The intricate X-ray reveals how the femur articulates with the hip socket at its center-right position. Osteoporosis primarily affects women after menopause due to decreased production of estrogen hormones that play a crucial role in maintaining bone mass. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of early detection and prevention strategies for osteoporosis. It highlights both the fragility and resilience of our skeletal system while underscoring the need for proper medical care and attention to mitigate such fractures. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this moment, shedding light on one aspect of osteoporosis through their remarkable photography skills. This thought-provoking image not only educates viewers about this prevalent health issue but also emphasizes society's responsibility towards promoting better healthcare practices for all individuals affected by osteoporosis.
