Illustration of arthritis in elbow joint
Illustration of arthritis affecting the elbow joint. The ligaments forming the joint capsule have been exposed to show the inflamed & degenerating surfaces of the capitulum (left) and trochlea, the articular cartilage of the humerus. The elbow is a moveable hinge-and-pivot joint that normally allows several types of movement. Arthritis is a general term for inflammation of a joint. Any disease involving the synovial membranes or causing degeneration of cartilage may cause arthritis

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of arthritis affecting the elbow joint. The image reveals a close-up view of the inflamed and degenerating surfaces of the capitulum and trochlea, along with the exposed ligaments forming the joint capsule. The elbow joint, known for its flexibility as a moveable hinge-and-pivot joint, allows various types of movement under normal circumstances. However, arthritis disrupts this harmony by causing inflammation in the joint. Arthritis is a broad term encompassing any condition that involves inflammation of a joint or leads to cartilage degeneration. In this illustration, we witness how arthritis takes its toll on the elbow's articular cartilage—the protective layer covering bones within joints—resulting in pain and discomfort for those affected by this medical disorder. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this visual representation to shed light on one aspect of arthritis's impact on our bodies. It serves as an educational tool for healthcare professionals and individuals seeking knowledge about this prevalent disease.
