EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork from Science Photo Library beautifully captures the intricate muscles of the thigh, while shedding light on a common injury associated with running, cycling, and weight-lifting - iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) or iliotibial band friction syndrome (ITBFS). The image showcases the side view of this condition, where inflammation occurs due to continuous rubbing of the iliotibial band over the lateral femoral epicondyle. The iliotibial band plays a crucial role in stabilizing the knee as it runs down the thigh. However, when subjected to repetitive motion or strain during physical activities like running and cycling, it can become inflamed. This visually striking illustration serves as an informative tool for medical professionals and athletes alike in understanding this disorder. With its vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail, this artwork provides a unique perspective on health care. It highlights how art can be used not only for aesthetic purposes but also as a means of education within the medical field. By combining scientific accuracy with artistic expression, Science Photo Library has created an engaging piece that bridges science and art seamlessly. Whether you are interested in sports medicine or simply appreciate captivating illustrations that delve into human anatomy, this print is sure to captivate your attention. It serves as a reminder of both our body's incredible complexity and its vulnerability to injuries caused by physical exertion.
