Pinned thigh fracture, X-ray C016 / 6564
Pinned thigh fracture. Coloured X-ray of the fractured femur (thigh bone) of a 52 year old patient. The broken bone has been fixed internally with a metal rod. It is important a bone is correctly aligned if it is to heal properly and avoid future complications. It can take up to six months for a femur to heal, as it is a weight-bearing bone

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured X-ray of a pinned thigh fracture, specifically the fractured femur (thigh bone) of a 52-year-old patient. The image reveals how the broken bone has been internally fixed with a sturdy metal rod, highlighting the intricate process involved in treating such injuries. The significance of correctly aligning the bone cannot be overstated, as it is crucial for proper healing and to prevent potential complications in the future. Healing a femur can be an arduous journey, often taking up to six months due to its weight-bearing nature within our bodies. The photograph not only sheds light on the medical aspect but also serves as a reminder of human resilience and determination when faced with adversity. It captures both the fragility and strength inherent in our bones, showcasing how modern medicine plays an integral role in restoring health and mobility. Within this visual narrative lies evidence of orthopaedic expertise at work - immobilising and fixing fractures through internal fixation techniques. The radiography depicts an abnormality caused by injury while simultaneously representing hope for recovery through advanced diagnostic tools like X-ray machines. ZEPHYR/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY's exceptional portrayal encapsulates both scientific precision and artistic beauty, reminding us that even amidst physical challenges, there is always room for healing and restoration within the human body.
