Premium Framed Print : Knee effusion
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Knee effusion
Knee effusion. Coloured X-ray of the swelling of an injured knee caused by effusion. Effusion is a painful condition whereby fluid accumulates in the joint space, limiting movement. Joints such as the knee contain small amounts of synovial fluid for lubrication. Injuries which damage or inflame the area around these joints often result in excessive production of this fluid, resulting in effusion. Painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs are used to reduce the swelling. In rare cases the fluid may need to be withdrawn using a hypodermic needle

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 from Science Photo Library captures the distressing effects of knee effusion. The coloured X-ray reveals a swollen and inflamed knee joint, caused by an accumulation of fluid in the joint space. Knee effusion is a painful condition that restricts movement, making even simple tasks challenging. Normally, joints like the knee contain a small amount of synovial fluid for lubrication. However, when injuries occur or inflammation sets in around these joints, excessive production of this fluid leads to effusion. This abnormal swelling can be debilitating and requires medical attention. To alleviate the discomfort associated with knee effusion, painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs are commonly prescribed to reduce the swelling. In more severe cases, medical professionals may need to withdraw the excess fluid using a hypodermic needle. The image showcases not only the physical impact on an adult patient's leg but also highlights how this disorder affects their overall health and well-being. It serves as a reminder of both the complexity of our bodies' systems and the importance of prompt medical intervention when faced with such conditions. Science Photo Library continues its commitment to providing insightful visuals that aid in scientific understanding without commercial intent.
