Knee replacement, artwork
Knee replacement. Artwork of a profile view of a prosthetic knee joint. The prostheses are implanted into the thigh bone (femur) and shinbone (tibia). The artificial joint hinges in an identical way to a normal knee joint. Knee joints need replacing when the protective cartilage that surrounds them is lost. Cartilage can be lost due to injury or osteoarthritis

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artwork depicting a profile view of a prosthetic knee joint. The intricate metal and plastic device is ingeniously designed to mimic the natural movement of a healthy knee joint, making it an essential solution for individuals who have lost their original knee functionality. The illustration provides valuable insight into the medical field's advancements in orthopedics and highlights the significance of knee replacements. When injury or osteoarthritis causes the deterioration of protective cartilage surrounding the knee, this innovative artificial joint becomes crucial in restoring mobility and improving quality of life. The labeled diagram offers an educational perspective on this complex medical procedure, revealing how these prostheses are implanted into both the thigh bone (femur) and shinbone (tibia). It also emphasizes how vital it is to replace damaged knees when cartilage loss occurs. Through its artistic portrayal, this print not only captures attention but also serves as a reminder of humanity's ability to overcome physical limitations through scientific innovation. It symbolizes hope for those suffering from debilitating conditions by showcasing cutting-edge technology that enables them to regain normalcy in their lives.
