9 Articulations
2
An Introduction to Articulations
Body movement occurs at joints (articulations) where two bones connect Joint structure determines direction and distance of movement (range of motion or ROM) Joint strength decreases as mobility increases
3
9-1 Classification of Joints
Two Methods of Classification Functional classification is based on range of motion of the joint Structural classification relies on the anatomical organization of the joint
4
Functional Classifications
Synarthrosis -immovable joint: bones fused or nearly fused together Amphiarthrosis-slightly movable joint: joint supports weight of the body Diarthrosis-freely movable joint: capable of precise movement while still supporting that part of the body
5
Structural Classifications based on
Material that binds bones together Presence or absence of a joint cavity Bony: Fibrous: amphiarthrosis or synarthrosis Cartilaginous: amphiarthrosis or synarthrosis Synovial: diarthrosis
6
Bony joints Synostosis –all synarthrosis No joint cavity Gap between two bones ossifies: forms immovable joint Can form from ossification of either fibrous or cartilaginous joints Examples: Frontal bones Mandibular bones have a fibrous connection which fuses shortly after birth, epiphyseal line in adult long bones
7
Fibrous Joints Synarthroses or amphiarthroses
No joint cavity; bones held together by fibrous connective tissue: (a) Suture (b) Syndesmosis (c) Gomphosis Joint held together with very short, interconnecting fibers, and bone edges interlock. Found only in the skull. Joint held together by a ligament. Fibrous tissue can vary in length but is longer than in sutures. Peg-in-socket fibrous joint. Periodontal ligament holds tooth in socket. Socket of alveolar process Suture line Fibula Tibia Root of tooth Dense fibrous connective tissue Ligament Periodontal ligament Figure 9.1
8
Cartilaginous Joints - Synarthroses or amphiarthroses
A. Synchondrosis: Bones connected by hyaline cartilage Epiphyseal plate of growing long bones; joints between ribs and sternum Synarthosis B. Symphysis: Bones connected by fibrocartilage Intervertebral discs and pubic symphysis. Amphiarthrosis
9
Synovial Joints All are diarthroses Most common in body.
Found at ends of long bones Have a synovial cavity (joint cavity) filled with synovial fluid Movement can be monaxial, biaxial or triaxial
10
General Structure of Synovial Joints
Bones held together by a two-layered articular capsule and by ligaments. Bones separated by joint cavity containing synovial fluid Articular (hyaline) cartilage at ends of articulating bones to reduce friction, absorb shock and protect ends of bones Ligament Joint cavity (contains synovial fluid) Articular (hyaline) cartilage Fibrous capsule Articular capsule Synovial membrane Periosteum (a) A typical synovial joint Figure 9.3a
11
Synovial Fluid A viscous fluid formed from secretions of synovial membrane and interstitial fluid 3-4 ml in knee joint Functions of synovial fluid Lubrication and reduce friction Shock absorption Supplies nutrients & oxygen, removes wastes from articular cartilage Contains phagocytic cells for protection
12
Fibrous capsule—outer layer of dense irregular connective tissue
Articular capsule (Joint capsule). —joint cavity is enclosed in a two-layered capsule Fibrous capsule—outer layer of dense irregular connective tissue Strengthens joint continuous with the periostea of the two articulating bones Synovial membrane—inner layer of loose connective tissue Lines joint capsule and covers internal joint surfaces This membrane does not cover the articulating surfaces Functions to make synovial fluid
13
Accessory Structures: Cartilages, Fat pads, Ligaments, Tendons, Bursae
Articular Disc/Meniscus Fibrocartilage pad found in some joints Function to tightly bind the bones in joint (eg sternoclavicular joint) or to cushion the joint (knee joint) Torn cartilage: tearing of meniscus; common sports injury Fat Pads Superficial to the joint capsule Protect articular cartilages
14
Tendons Ligaments Join bone to bone Support, strengthen joints
Extracapsular ligaments—located outside the capsule Intracapsular ligaments—located internal to the capsule Tendons Attach muscle to bone strips or sheets of tough dense regular connective tissue Help support joint, limit movement
15
Bursae (Singular, bursa, a pouch)
Small, thin fibrous sacs lined with synovial membrane and filled with synovial fluid Located outside joint capsule Cushion movement between certain areas of body, often where tendons or ligaments rub against other tissues Reduce friction and absorb shock in certain areas where May be connected to joint cavity or separate from it Bursitis: inflammation of bursae (trauma, infection, rheumatoid arthritis)

17
9-3 Types of Movement at Synovial Joints
Four Types of Dynamic Motion Linear movement (gliding) Angular movement Rotation Special movements
18
Linear: Gliding Movement
Two surfaces slide past each other Between carpal or tarsal bones Acromioclavicular and claviculosternal joints
19
Angular Movement Flexion Anterior–posterior plane
Reduces angle between elements Extension Increases angle between elements Hyperextension Angular motion Extension past anatomical position
20
Angular Movement Abduction Frontal plane
Moves away from longitudinal axis Adduction Moves toward longitudinal axis
21
Angular Movement Adduction Abduction Adduction/abduction 21
22
Angular Movement Circumduction Circular motion without rotation
23
Rotation Direction of rotation from anatomical position Relative to longitudinal axis of body Left or right rotation Medial rotation (inward rotation) Rotates toward axis Lateral rotation (outward rotation) Rotates away from axis
24
Rotation Supination Forearm in anatomical position Pronation Rotates forearm, distal end of radius crosses over distal end of ulna Turns the wrist and hand from palm facing front to palm facing back
25
Classification of Synovial Joints by Shape of articulating surfaces
Each type permits a different range and type of movement Gliding Hinge Pivot Condylar Saddle Ball-and-socket
26
Gliding (Planar) Joints
Flattened or slightly curved faces Side-to-side and back-and-forth gliding movements. Limited motion,
27
Hinge Joints Concave surface of one bone articulates with and fits into the convex surface of another bone. Flexion or extension
28
Pivot Joints Round or pointed surface of one bone fits into a ring formed by another bone and a ligament. Rotation
29
Condylar Joints Oval-shaped condyle of a bone fits into an elliptical cavity of another bone Flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, circumduction
30
Saddle Joints Articular facets fit together like a rider in a saddle
31
Ball-and-socket Joints
Ball-shaped surface of a bone fits into the cup-like depression of the second bone. Flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, rotation, circumduction.
32
Joint Mobility & Strength
A joint cannot be both mobile and strong The greater the mobility, the weaker the joint Mobile joints are supported by muscles and ligaments, not bone-to-bone connections
33
Articulations Axial skeleton articulations Typically are strong but very little movement Appendicular skeleton articulations Typically have extensive range of motion Often weaker than axial articulations
34
Pads of fibrocartilage that separate vertebral bodies of vertebrae
Intervertebral Discs Pads of fibrocartilage that separate vertebral bodies of vertebrae Axis to L5 Account for ¼ length of vertebral column Water loss from discs causes shortening of vertebral column with age and increases risk of disc injury Consist of: Outer Anulus fibrosus Tough layer of fibrous cartilage Collagen fibers attach to adjacent vertebrae Inner Nucleus pulposus Soft, elastic, gelatinous core Provides resiliency and shock absorption

9-5 The Shoulder Joint The Shoulder Joint (glenohumeral joint)
Allows more motion than any other joint Is the least stable Ball-and-socket diarthrosis: head of humerus and glenoid cavity of scapula
40
Glenoid labrum Deepens socket of glenoid cavity Fibrocartilage lining that extends past the bone Acromion and coracoid process of scapula help stabilize the shoulder joint Surrounding skeletal muscles, tendons and ligaments provide some stability and limit range of motion Especially Rotator cuff muscles & tendons: Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Subscapularis, Teres minor
42
Ligaments Stabilizing the Shoulder
Coracoid process Clavicle Acromion Ligaments Stabilizing the Shoulder Bursae Coracoclavicular ligaments Articular capsule Acromioclavicular ligament Scapula Coraco-acromial ligament Figure The shoulder and hip are ball-and-socket joints Tendon of the biceps brachii muscle Coracohumeral ligament Glenohumeral ligaments Humerus 42
43
Shoulder Separation Common sports injury Partial or complete dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint Shoulder Dislocation Head of the humerus becomes displaced inferiorly where articular capsule is least protected
44
9-5 The Elbow Joint The Elbow Joint A stable hinge joint
Articulations involving humerus, radius, and ulna
45
The Elbow Joint is extremely strong and stable due to:
Bony surfaces of humerus and ulna interlock Single, thick articular capsule surrounds both humero- ulnar and proximal radio-ulnar joints Articular capsule reinforced by strong ligaments Severe stresses can still produce dislocations or other injuries Example: nursemaid’s elbow
46
Humero-ulnar joint Humero-radial joint
largest and strongest of elbow articulations Trochlea of humerus articulates with trochlear notch of ulna: Hinge movement Shape of trochlear notch determines plane of movement Shapes of olecranon fossa and olecranon limit degree of extension Humero-radial joint Smaller articulation Capitulum of humerus articulates with head of radius Note: Proximal radio-ulnar joint is not part of elbow joint

9-6 The Hip Joint The Hip Joint (Coxal joint)
Strong ball-and-socket diarthrosis Wide range of motion
51
The Hip Joint Head of femur fits into a socket, the acetabulum which is extended by fibrocartilaginous acetabular labrum
52
Ligaments of the Hip Joint:
Iliofemoral, Pubofemoral, Ischiofemoral, Transverse acetabular, Ligamentum teres
53
9-6 The Knee Joint A complicated hinge joint
Flexion, extension, some rotation Weight transferred from hip joint to femur Knee joint transfers the weight from femur to tibia
54
9-6 The Knee Joint Articulations of the knee joint
Medial condyle of tibia to medial condyle of femur Lateral condyle of tibia to lateral condyle of femur Patella and patellar surface of femur Permits flexion, extension, and very limited rotation
55
External support of Knee Joint
Quadriceps tendon to patella Continues as patellar ligament to anterior tibia Fibular collateral ligament Lateral support Tibial collateral ligament Medial support Popliteal ligaments Posterior support extending between femur and heads of tibia and fibula Tendons of several muscles that attach to femur and tibia

57
Internal support of Knee joint
Cruciate ligaments limit anterior/posterior movement of femur and maintain alignment of condyles Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) When knee is extended, ACL is pulled tight and prevents hyperextension Prevents the tibia from moving too far anteriorly on the femur Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) prevents hyperflexion of knee joint Prevents the tibia from moving too far posteriorly on the femur 57
58
Medial and lateral menisci
Fibrous cartilage pads between tibial and femoral condyles Act as cushions and provide lateral stability to joint 58

Joint Injuries and Disorders
Rheumatism: General term for pain and stiffness affecting the musculoskeletal systems Arthritis: Pain and inflammation of the joints Involves damage of the articular cartilages but causes can vary
62
Osteoarthritis Also known as degenerative arthritis or degenerative joint disease Affects larger joints such as hip and knee Generally affects individuals age 60 and older Can result from cumulative wear and tear of joints or genetic factors affecting collagen formation Rheumatoid Arthritis Autoimmune disease where white blood cells attack articular cartilages More common in women Inflammation, swelling , severe pain Joint becomes immovable, fingers can become distorted Gouty Arthritis Occurs when uric acid crystals form within joint Joint may become immovable Due to genetic metabolic disorders, diet, stress
63
Arthroscopy Optical fibers (arthroscope) inserted into joint through small incision without major surgery to visualize joint interior If necessary, other instruments can be inserted through other incisions to permit surgery within view of arthroscope- Arthroscopic surgery Magnetic resonance imaging Cost-effective and noninvasive viewing technique that allows examination of soft tissues around joint as well
64
Artificial joints If other solutions (exercise, physical therapy, drugs) for joint problems fail Not as strong as natural joints Typically have service life of about 10 years 3-D Printing-custom made joints
65
Figure 8.8.5 Arthritis can disrupt normal joint structure and function

66
Sprains - Stretched or torn ligaments but no dislocation of the bones
- Ankle is most common joint to be sprained Treatment includes “RICE”: rest, ice, compression, elevation. Dislocation (luxation) Movement beyond normal range of motion Displacement of bone out of its normal position Tearng of ligaments, tendons and articular cartilage. No pain from inside joint but from nerves or surrounding structures Subluxation: A partial dislocation
