Joint distribution at presentation in children with pauciarticular arthritis
1Children's Hospital & Regional Medical Center and the Department of Pediatrics, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA.
Abstract:
The most frequently affected joints in 215 children with pauciarticular arthritis (fewer than 5 joints involved) were knees, ankles, fingers, toes, wrists, elbows, and hips, respectively. Antinuclear antibodies were present in 68% and uveitis in 16%. Small joint arthritis should alert the physician to the possibilities of pauciarticular arthritis.

Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.
