Arthritic elbow, computer artwork
Arthritic elbow, computer artwork. The pain of the arthritic joint, and the inflamed area, is shown in red. Bones are blue. The elbow joint is where the humerus (the upper arm bone, top) joins with the two lower arm bones (bottom: ulna at right and radius at left). Arthritis is a joint disease in which the joints become inflamed and painful. This is either because the bodys immune system attacks them (rheumatoid arthritis) or through wear and tear (osteoarthritis). In severe cases, surgery can be carried out to replace the elbow joint

EDITORS COMMENTS
This computer artwork showcases the intricate details of an arthritic elbow, offering a visual representation of the pain and inflammation that accompanies this joint disease. The image portrays the affected area in vivid red hues, emphasizing the discomfort experienced by individuals with arthritis. In contrast, the bones are depicted in calming shades of blue, providing a stark juxtaposition between healthy and afflicted tissues. The focal point of this illustration is the elbow joint itself, where the upper arm bone (humerus) connects with two lower arm bones (ulna and radius). Arthritis can manifest through either immune system attacks (rheumatoid arthritis) or natural wear and tear over time (osteoarthritis), leading to chronic inflammation and debilitating pain. While medication and other non-surgical treatments are often employed to manage arthritis symptoms, severe cases may require surgical intervention to replace or repair damaged joints. This image serves as a powerful reminder of both the complexity of our bodies' internal systems and the challenges faced by those living with arthritic conditions. Presented by Science Photo Library, this thought-provoking print offers valuable insight into one aspect of human health while showcasing stunning computer-generated artistry.
