Artwork of torn knee cartilage in sports injury
Knee sports injury. Illustration of torn knee cartilage in a sports injury. The head of the tibia (shin bone, brown) is viewed from above, showing white cartilage and ligaments. At left, a red tear is seen in the medial meniscus cartilage; at right is the cup-shaped lateral meniscus. At centre are cut ends of two cruciate ligaments; the patella (knee cap) is oval-shaped at top. The femur (thigh bone) articulates with this surface, forming the knee joint which is a strong hinge joint capable of flexion, extension, and slight rotation. Injury to the knee: its cartilage and ligaments, is common in athletes. Keyhole surgery is used to repair torn cartilage and ligaments

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 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 17x15 inches (431x381mm). 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 intricate details of a torn knee cartilage in a sports injury. The image focuses on the head of the tibia, providing a top-down view that reveals the delicate white cartilage and ligaments. On the left side, a vivid red tear is visible in the medial meniscus cartilage, while on the right side, we observe the cup-shaped lateral meniscus. At the center of this composition are two cut ends of cruciate ligaments, surrounded by an oval-shaped patella or knee cap at its peak. The femur, our thigh bone, articulates with this surface to form a robust hinge joint capable of flexion, extension, and slight rotation. Injuries to these vital components - knee cartilage and ligaments - are unfortunately common among athletes due to intense physical activity. However, medical advancements have introduced keyhole surgery as an effective method for repairing torn cartilage and ligaments. This thought-provoking artwork not only sheds light on an often overlooked aspect of sports injuries but also emphasizes their significance in maintaining optimal health care for athletes. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this image that combines elements from medicine and sports science into one visually striking representation.
