Side view of the knee in a deep-sea diver shows dysbaric osteonecrosis in the shaft of the long bones of upper leg (femur) and lower leg (tibia).
Note the irregular calcific deposits (squiggly lines) with a shell-like pattern, which is typical of a bone infarct (tissue death due to a lack of blood flow).
