Fractured elbow, X-rays
Fractured elbow, coloured X-ray. The elbow is seen straight (left) and bent (right). In the bent view, a small patch of bone is seen above the joint. This is calcification, the deposition of mineral salts in tissues. This may happen in response to an injury. The elbow is a joint arising from the articulation of the humerus (upper arm bone, upper frame) with the ulna and radius. The ulna is the thicker of the two lower arm bones at this joint

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a fractured elbow, depicted through colored X-rays. The image presents two views of the elbow: one in a straight position on the left and another bent on the right. In the bent view, an intriguing sight awaits as a small patch of calcification is visible above the joint. Calcification refers to the deposition of mineral salts in tissues and can occur as a response to injury. The elbow itself is a vital joint formed by the articulation of three bones - the humerus (upper arm bone), ulna, and radius (lower arm bones). At this particular joint, it's noteworthy that the ulna appears thicker than its counterpart. This photograph not only captures an injury but also serves as a diagnostic tool for medical professionals. It provides valuable insights into conditions such as fractures or disorders affecting this crucial part of our anatomy. Radiography plays an essential role in diagnosing bone-related issues and aids in determining appropriate treatment plans for patients. As we observe this image, we are reminded of both fragility and resilience within our own bodies. The healing process following such injuries requires expert care from healthcare providers who utilize technologies like x-ray machines to accurately assess damage.
