X-ray (front view) of severe osteoarthritis of the knees (bilateral) in an adult patient. The thigh-bones (femurs,at top) articulate at the knees with the tibia (shin bones,at bottom). At both knee joints (upper centre right and left) narrowing of the outer half is visible due to loss of cartilage,causing pain and stiffness of movement. Osteoarthritis is associated with mechanical wear of the joints | |
