Conditions
This condition inflammation of the shoulder joint capsule, and may be able to describe the shoulder as 'Frozen'.
Adhesive Capsulitis
Your Shoulder and Hip are examples of this type of joint type having a freely movable joint.
Diarthosis
This is the only type of structural joint that features an actual cavity and utilizes a special fluid to lubricate the joints.
Synovial Joint
The fluid that is produced by the inner layer of synovial joints.
Synovial Fluid
A Surgical Repair or replacement of a joint.
An accumulation of fluid in the popliteal fossa
Baker's Cyst
This Joint type move slightly, or under specific conditions; such as the joint of the pubic symphysis.
Amphiarthrosis
This type of joint has layers of inflexible layers of dense connective tissue that tightly holds the bones together.
Fibrous Joints.
The bundles of the outer fibrous layer of the articular capsule of a synovial joint.
Ligaments
The consistency of synovial fluid is equivalent to what viscous liquid?
Egg Whites
This condition, more common in males, involves loss of joint movement in the spine, may lead to a kyphosis, and has associations with both inflammation of the eyes and the bowels.
Ankylosing Spondylitis
Also called a Synostosis joint, these jones formed when bones fuse together have very little movement if any.
Synarthrosis
This special type of 'Peg-in-socket' fibrous joint is found in our mouths.
Gomphosis
These ligaments are found within the joint capsule, though they are separated from the cavity by folds within the synovial membrane.
Intracapsular ligaments
Patients with this autoimmune disorder experience morning pain and stiffness in their hands, feet, large joints, and cervical spine.
Rheumatoid Arthritis
This inflammation of the tibial tubercle is caused by chronic irritation and could be considered chronic shin splints. It is characterized by a swelling and tenderness over the tibial tubercle that gets worse with exercise.
Osgood-Schlatter Disease
While the prefix for this type of functional joint often means 'both' in the case of this joint it really means 'inbetween'
Amphiarthrosis
This type of joint involves bones being united by hyaline cartilage, like the joints in between the ribs and sternum.
Cartilaginous Joints
These pads of fibro cartilage better allow bones of different shapes to fit together tightly to better stabilize the joint.
Meniscus
The contents of synovial fluid include interstitial fluid, Lubricin which directly lubricates the cartillage surface, and this acid which directly affects the viscosity of the fluid.
Hyaluronic Acid
This type of arthritis is due to the crystallization of uric acid in the body, often in the first metatarsal phalange joint.
Gout
All Synovial Joints are this form of joint.
Diarthrosis
The purpose of this type of joint is to reduce friction and absorb shock.
Synovial Joint
This property of synovial joints is the primary reason why cartilage injuries take so long to heal.
The Ligaments, Articular Capsule and Cartilage are all avascular.
The tendon sheaths directly affected by this condition are responsible for both extending and abducting the thumb.
De Quervain's Tenosynovitis
