X-ray of the hands of a patient with severe rheumatoid arthritis, particularly in the smallest finger, at right. The thumbs are at center. 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:Antonia Reeve / Science SourceSize:4020px × 3314px (~38 MB)Restrictions:No Sale through SubagentsGet PricingHow Will The Visual Be Used?ShareKeywords:arthritic-arthritis-arthrosis-articulation-autoimmune disorder-black-and-white-bone-bones-carpel-carpels-condition-degenerative-diagnosis-diagnostic-disease-disorder-double-finger-fingers-hand-hands-healthcare-human-human body-immune system-inflamed-inflammation-knuckle-knuckles-M110/678-M1100678-medical-medicine-monochrome-musculoskeletal disorders-osteology-person-photo-radiography-rheumatoid-rheumatoid arthritis-scan-severe-swollen-two-wrist-wrists-x-ray-x-ray machineModel release:N/AParent folder:Months of September and October 2007
