Melorheostosis of the knee, X-ray C017 / 7145
Melorheostosis of the knee. X-ray of left knee of a 52 year old male patient showing damage (white area to bottom left of knee cap) caused by melorheostosis. Melorheostosis is the abnormal development (dysplasia) of mesenchyma connective tissue that causes the bony cortex to widen and become hyperdense

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 from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of a rare medical condition known as Melorheostosis. The X-ray image captures the left knee of a 52-year-old male patient, revealing the devastating damage caused by this disorder. Melorheostosis is characterized by abnormal development in the connective tissue, specifically within the mesenchyma, resulting in an unusual widening and hyperdensity of the bony cortex. In this monochrome image, one can observe a white area located at the bottom left of the knee cap indicating significant impairment caused by melorheostosis. This condition not only affects bone mass but also poses various challenges to orthopedic specialists who strive to alleviate pain and restore functionality for patients like this middle-aged man. The side view perspective offers valuable insights into osteological abnormalities associated with melorheostosis. Through diagnostic radiography techniques using an x-ray machine, healthcare professionals gain crucial information about this developmental disorder that primarily affects individuals in their fifties. Despite its rarity and unhealthy impact on those affected, images like these contribute immensely to medical research and understanding. By providing visual evidence of such conditions, scientists can delve deeper into uncovering potential treatments or interventions that may improve patients' quality of life.
