Knee injury, 3D CT scan C018 / 0639
Knee injury. Coloured 3D computed tomography (CT) scan of a knee with a meniscal tear (indicated by arrows). The menisci are fibrocartilage crescents that act as shock absorbers between the femur (thigh bone, top) and tibia (shin bone, bottom). A tear in a meniscus can be caused by trauma, most often a sports injury, or by wear and tear. Treatment depends on the severity of the tear. Minor tears may respond to physical therapy and anti-inflammatory drugs, but more serious injuries require surgical treatment

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a knee injury captured through a state-of-the-art 3D CT scan. The image reveals the intricate details of the knee joint, with a clear indication of a meniscal tear highlighted by arrows. Menisci, which are fibrocartilage crescents acting as shock absorbers between the femur and tibia, play a crucial role in maintaining joint health. The tear in the meniscus depicted here can result from trauma, often associated with sports injuries, or from gradual wear and tear over time. Treatment options vary depending on the severity of the tear; minor tears may respond well to physical therapy and anti-inflammatory medications while more severe cases necessitate surgical intervention. Radiating an air of medical expertise and precision diagnosis, this photograph offers valuable insights into understanding knee injuries. It emphasizes how critical it is to address such issues promptly for optimal recovery. With its vibrant colors highlighting areas of damage within this complex joint structure, this image serves as an educational tool for healthcare professionals and individuals seeking knowledge about knee injuries. By providing an up-close view of bones, cartilage, and damaged tissue in three dimensions using cutting-edge technology like CT scans, it allows us to delve deeper into our understanding of human anatomy and pathology. Captured by ZEPHYR/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY's skilled photographers without any commercial intent mentioned in their caption notes; this print stands as both visually striking artwork and informative scientific documentation.
