The X-ray, labeled as C017 / 7645, reveals a side view of the leg that has been amputated below the knee. It showcases the tops of both the tibia (shin bone) on the lower right and fibula (calf bone) on the lower left. The image evokes a range of emotions as we witness this profound physical transformation. The stump left behind after amputation is clearly visible, highlighting both its deformity and unhealthy appearance. This radiographic depiction serves as a reminder of how medical interventions can alter our bodies in unexpected ways. The monochrome composition further accentuates the intensity and seriousness conveyed by this X-ray print.
