Pinned broken ankle, X-ray C017 / 7978
Pinned broken ankle. X-ray of the ankle of a 32 year old male that has been pinned after a parachuting accident. The ankle was dislocated between the tibia (shin bone, down centre) and talus (ankle bone, lower centre). The patient also sustained two fractures to the tibia and one to the fibula (calf bone)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the aftermath of a harrowing parachuting accident. The X-ray image reveals the intricate details of a pinned broken ankle, belonging to a resilient 32-year-old male. The severity of the injury becomes evident as we observe the dislocation between the tibia, or shin bone, running down the center, and talus, located in the lower center of the ankle. The patient's unfortunate mishap resulted in not only this dislocation but also two fractures to his tibia and one fracture to his fibula, or calf bone. This snapshot captures both an internal view into medicine's ability to diagnose and treat such injuries while offering us a glimpse into this individual's journey towards recovery. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of seriousness and intensity to this diagnostic image. It serves as a reminder that even within our own bodies lies fragility waiting for unforeseen circumstances to expose it. However, through advancements in orthopedics and radiography technology like X-ray machines, medical professionals can provide effective treatment options such as pinning and fixation. As we examine this photograph closely, we are reminded not only of human vulnerability but also resilience. It is a testament to both science's ability to heal broken bones and individuals' determination during challenging times.
