Description
Osteoarthritis of the foot. X-rays of the left foot of a 75-year-old patient with osteoarthritis affecting the big toe before treatment (left) and after injection of an anti-inflammatory drug (solid white, right). Osteoarthritis (or arthrosis) is a common degenerative disease characterised by a loss of the cartilage that lines the joints between bones. This leads to pain, swelling and occasionally may result in the loss of function of the affected joint. No specific cure exists.
