Arthrosis of the hand, X-ray F006 / 4605
Coloured X-ray of the hand of a patient with arthrosis, particularly the saddle joint. Arthrosis is a degenerative joint disease that damages cartilage and bone. As the cartilage is worn away, new bone grows as part of the repair process. This causes stiffness and deformity of the fingers. Treatment is with anti-inflammatory drugs and in severe cases surgery

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a hand affected by arthrosis, specifically highlighting the saddle joint. Arthrosis, a degenerative joint disease, wreaks havoc on both cartilage and bone within the affected area. As the cartilage gradually erodes over time, new bone growth occurs as part of the body's natural repair process. Unfortunately, this leads to stiffness and deformity in the fingers. The image is set against a striking black background, allowing for enhanced focus on the hand's condition. Every finger joint is meticulously captured in this close-up shot, providing an anatomical exploration of arthrosis. The thumb stands out prominently amidst other phalanges that have fallen victim to this debilitating illness. Treatment options for arthrosis typically involve anti-inflammatory drugs; however, severe cases may necessitate surgical intervention. This X-ray serves as a powerful visual aid for medical professionals studying joint diseases like gouty arthritis or osteoarthrosis. PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY has expertly captured this scientific imaging masterpiece without mentioning any commercial use intentions. Their attention to detail allows us to delve into the complexities of human anatomy while shedding light on healthcare advancements related to arthrosis deformans treatment.
