Coloured frontal X-rays of the left knee of a 56 year old female patient when lying down (left) and when standing (right). The narrowed spacing of the femorotibial joint when standing indicates advanced osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that results from the breakdown of joint cartilage and the underlying bone, resulting in joint swelling, pain and a decreased range of motion. | |
