Arthritic hand bones
Arthritis. Coloured X-ray of arthritis affecting the joints of the hand. The thumb joint is seen to be both rougher and misaligned compared to a normal joint. The most common type of arthritis is osteoarthritis, which results from wear and tear on the joints. This can be caused by genetic or metabolic factors, and occurs usually in middle age. Rheumatoid arthritis is the most severe, and is an autoimmune disorder, where the immune system attacks the joints. Anti-inflammatory drugs help in treatment

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate details of arthritic hand bones. The coloured X-ray highlights the effects of arthritis on the joints, particularly in the thumb joint which appears rougher and misaligned compared to a healthy joint. Arthritis is a common condition that primarily manifests as osteoarthritis, resulting from wear and tear on the joints due to genetic or metabolic factors. It typically affects individuals in middle age. However, this image also sheds light on rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks the joints. This form of arthritis is considered more severe than osteoarthritis. Treatment often involves anti-inflammatory drugs to alleviate symptoms and manage pain. The photograph's detailed depiction of bone structure allows for a better understanding of musculoskeletal disorders such as arthritis. By studying these images, medical professionals gain valuable insights into diagnosing and treating various conditions affecting our skeletal system. Science Photo Library continues its commitment to providing high-quality visuals that contribute to advancements in health care and radiology research. With their extensive collection encompassing anatomy, medicine, and human body-related subjects like this one – they remain an invaluable resource for scientific exploration.
