Pinned kneecap fracture, X-ray
Pinned kneecap fracture. Coloured X-ray of a pin (grey, centre right) in the fractured kneecap (patella) of an adult man. The metal pin is used to hold the broken bone in the correct position, allowing it to heal properly. The kneecap is a disc of bone that covers the front of the knee joint. The knee, the largest joint in the body, is formed where the femur (thigh bone, upper centre) articulates with the tibia (shin bone, lower centre). The smaller fibula (left of tibia) is also seen

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pinned kneecap fracture, revealing the intricate details of a healing process. In this coloured X-ray image, we witness the resilience of an adult man's fractured patella as it is held in place by a metal pin. This crucial intervention ensures that the broken bone remains in its correct position, allowing for proper healing to take place. The kneecap, also known as the patella, serves as a protective shield for the front of the knee joint. As we explore this image further, we are reminded of the complexity and strength of our body's largest joint – where the femur articulates with both the tibia and fibula bones. Radiography has played a vital role in modern medicine by providing us with invaluable insights into various conditions and injuries. Through this visual representation, we gain appreciation for how medical professionals utilize pins and other techniques to treat fractures effectively. As we delve into this remarkable photograph from Science Photo Library, let us acknowledge not only its scientific significance but also its portrayal of human resilience and dedication to health care. It serves as a testament to our ability to mend what is broken and restore functionality through advancements in medicine.
