Joints (Articulations) Articulation—site where two or more bones meet Functions of joints: Give skeleton mobility Hold skeleton together Case: Hyaluronic acid injections for knee osteoarthritis Joseph, a 45 year old construction worker has osteoarthritis. His knees have been bothering him and his physician recommended injections of hyaluronic acid.

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Structural Classification of Joints Based on material binding bones together and whether or not a joint cavity is present Three structural classifications: Fibrous Cartilaginous Synovial
4
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Fibrous Joints Bones joined by dense fibrous connective tissue No joint cavity Most are synarthrotic (immovable) Three types: Sutures Syndesmoses Gomphoses

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Fibrous Joints: Sutures Rigid, interlocking joints containing short connective tissue fibers Allow for growth during youth In middle age, sutures ossify and are called synostoses

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Crouzon's and Apert's Syndrome Crouzon and Apert syndromes are the most common of the craniosynostosis syndromes. Craniosynostosis refers to the early closing of one or more of the sutures of an infant's head. The skull is normally composed of bones which are separated by sutures. This diagram shows the different sutures which can be involved. As an infant's brain grows, open sutures allow the skull to expand and develop a relatively normal head shape. If one or more of the sutures has closed early, it causes the skull to expand in the direction of the open sutures. This can result in an abnormal head shape. In severe cases, this condition can also cause increased pressure on the growing brain.

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Asymmetric Closure of Ischiopubic Synchondrosis in Pediatric Patients: Correlation with Foot Dominance OBJECTIVE. The enlarged ischiopubic synchondrosis is a well-known anatomic struc- ture; however, little is known about its physiology. In early childhood, enlargement of this synchondrosis occurs bilaterally, whereas before complete ossification, it is frequently found unilaterally. In most children, the unilateral enlarged ischiopubic synchondrosis is observed in the left hemipelvis, a finding that was hitherto unexplained. During common athletic activi- ties, increased ground reaction forces are exerted on the weight-bearing nondominant limb, which in up to 87% of the general population is the left leg. The asymmetric exertion of these forces may explain the distinct closure sequence of this temporary joint. The purpose of this study was to correlate unilateral enlarged ischiopubic synchondrosis with foot dominance. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The study cohort comprised 32 children who had un- dergone unenhanced radiography, CT, or MRI for reasons other than bone disorders and who presented with enlarged ischiopubic synchondroses. In these children, the distribution of en- larged ischiopubic synchondrosis and foot dominance were evaluated either retrospectively (n = 11) or prospectively (n = 21). RESULTS. In this cohort, 78% of patients were right-footed and 22% were left-footed. Nine of the 32 children presented with unilateral enlarged ischiopubic synchondrosis (left, seven [78%] of nine; right, two [22%] of nine). All children with enlarged left ischiopubic synchondrosis were right- footed, and all children with enlarged right ischiopubic synchon- drosis were left-footed. CONCLUSION. Unilateral enlarged ischiopubic synchondrosis is closely correlated with foot dominance. The asymmetric ossification pattern of the ischiopubic synchondrosis indicates delayed ossification of this anatomic structure due to asymmetrically applied me- chanical forces to the nondominant limb.

21
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Synovial Joints Distinguishing features: 1.Articular cartilage: hyaline cartilage 2.Joint (synovial) cavity: small potential space
22
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Synovial Joints Distinguishing features: 3.Articular (joint) capsule: Outer fibrous capsule of dense irregular connective tissue Inner synovial membrane of loose connective tissue
23
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Synovial Joints Distinguishing features: 4.Synovial fluid: Viscous slippery filtrate of plasma + hyaluronic acid Lubricates and nourishes articular cartilage Case: Hyaluronan is also used to treat osteoarthritis of the knee. Such treatments, called viscosupplementation, are administered as a course of injections into the knee joint, and are believed to supplement the viscosity of the joint fluid, thereby lubricating the joint, cushioning the joint, and producing an analgesic effect.
24
Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Osteoarthritis is caused by 'wear and tear' on a joint. Cartilage is the firm, rubbery tissue that cushions your bones at the joints, and allows bones to glide over one another. Cartilage can break down and wear away. As a result, the bones rub together, causing pain, swelling, and stiffness. Bony spurs or extra bone may form around the joint, and the ligaments and muscles become weaker and stiffer.

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. The cause of RA is unknown. It is an autoimmune disease, which means the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue. RA can occur at any age, but is more common in middle age. Women get RA more often than men. Infection, genes, and hormone changes may be linked to the disease.

Synovial Joints: Friction-Reducing Structures Bursae: Flattened, fibrous sacs lined with synovial membranes Contain synovial fluid Commonly act as “ball bearings” where ligaments, muscles, skin, tendons, or bones rub together

Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Prepatellar bursitis, also known as Housemaid's knee, is a common cause of swelling and pain above the patella (kneecap), and is due to inflammation of the prepatellar bursa. This structure is a superficial bursa with a thin synovial lining located between the skin and the patella. The bursa develops within the first years of life as a result of mechanical pressure and friction, and it serves the purpose of reducing friction on underlying structures and allowing maximal range of motion in the knee. Aseptic prepatellar bursitis is commonly caused by repetitive work in a kneeling position, hence the name "housemaid's knee"...
