X-ray of the hand of a patient with severe rheumatoid arthritis in all of their fingers. The thumb is at left. This is polyarthritis, which means that more than five joints are affected. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder, where the immune system attacks the body's own tissues, causing progressive joint and cartilage destruction. As the cartilage is worn away, new bone grows as part of the repair process. This causes stiffness and deformity of the fingers. Treatment is with anti-inflammatory drugs and physiotherapy.Credit:ZEPHYR / Science SourceSize:3758px × 4735px (~50 MB)Restrictions:No Sale through SubagentsGet PricingFormatShareKeywords:arthritic-arthritis-arthrosis-articulation-autoimmune disorder-black-and-white-bone-bones-carpal-carpals-condition-deformed-degeneration-degenerative-diagnosis-diagnostic-disease-disorder-F001/0633-f0010633-finger-fingers-hand-healthcare-human-human body-immune system-inflamed-inflammation-knuckle-knuckles-medical-medicine-monochrome-musculoskeletal disorders-one-osteology-patient-people-person-polyarthritis-radiography-rheumatoid arthritis-severe-single-swollen-wrist-wrists-x-ray-x-ray machine-xrayf0010633.jpgModel release:N/AAvailable sizesFormatDimensionsPrice0.5 MB File357px X 450px$ 49.001 MB File496px X 625px$ 125.0010 MB File1587px X 2000px$ 300.0030 MB File2778px X 3500px$ 350.0050 MB File3571px X 4500px$ 425.00Parent folder:RF Group 1
