EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a coloured frontal X-ray of a pinned wrist fracture, providing an insightful glimpse into the world of injury treatment and medicine. The image depicts a displaced distal radius fracture, which refers to a broken large lower arm bone that has been expertly treated using a pi-plate. The pi-plate, prominently displayed in white, is ingeniously inserted to stabilize the fractured bone and aid in its healing process. This innovative technique ensures that the injured person's wrist is fixed securely, allowing for proper alignment and restoration of function. The false-coloured X-ray highlights the intricate details of this medical intervention, offering viewers an opportunity to appreciate both the complexity and effectiveness of modern healthcare practices. Through radiography technology captured by an x-ray machine, we are able to witness firsthand how bones can be mended with precision and care. This thought-provoking image not only serves as a testament to human resilience but also underscores the crucial role played by medical professionals in treating fractures. It reminds us that even amidst adversity and injury, there is hope for recovery through advancements in health care. Science Photo Library presents this remarkable photograph as part of their extensive collection dedicated to showcasing scientific discoveries and breakthroughs.
