Artwork of osteoarthritis of the spine
Osteoarthritis. Artwork of the lower (lumbar) spine showing the degenerative effects of osteoarthritis. The cartilage that lines the joints between each vertebrae (coloured purple) is considerably reduced. Also, bony outgrowths are seen forming on the edges of the lower 3 vertebrae, these are known as osteophytes. Osteo- arthritis is a joint disease aggravated by mechanical stress. It is usually associated with old-age but may occur in the young as a result of injury or congenital deformity. Symptoms include pain, stiffness and swelling of the affected joints. There is no cure but symptoms can be relieved using drugs against pain & inflammation

31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 31x27 inches (787x685mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork of osteoarthritis of the spine, specifically focusing on the lower (lumbar) region. The degenerative effects of osteoarthritis are vividly depicted, revealing a significant reduction in the cartilage that lines the joints between each vertebrae, beautifully colored in purple. Moreover, this artwork also highlights the formation of bony outgrowths known as osteophytes along the edges of the lower three vertebrae. Osteoarthritis is a joint disease that is aggravated by mechanical stress and commonly associated with old age. However, it can also occur in younger individuals due to injury or congenital deformity. Symptoms experienced by those affected include pain, stiffness, and swelling in their joints. Unfortunately, there is no cure for osteoarthritis; however, drugs targeting pain relief and inflammation can help alleviate these symptoms. This thought-provoking image not only serves as an artistic representation but also provides valuable insight into this debilitating condition. It reminds us of both our vulnerability to joint disorders and the importance of proper medical care and attention to maintaining our spinal health. Captured by Science Photo Library's talented photographers specializing in medical imagery, this print offers a unique perspective on osteoarthritis while emphasizing its impact on our overall well-being.
