Accident-Related Injuries to the Hand and Thoracic Spine - Medical Illustration, Human Anatomy Drawing
This composite image illustrates two distinct injuries: a hand injury and a thoracic soft tissue injury. The upper portion presents a radiographic view of the right hand, highlighting a fracture of the fourth metacarpal. The fracture is delineated with an overlay showing a displaced and angulated fracture line through the shaft of the fourth metacarpal bone. Adjacent metacarpals (3rd and 5th) are shown for anatomical reference. The lower portion of the image depicts an axial anatomical cross-section through the T8 vertebral level of the thoracic spine. The illustration highlights edema within the right posterior paraspinal musculature, particularly near the trapezius muscle, indicating soft tissue trauma or inflammation.
