Abstract:
A 17 year old boy, who twisted his left foot while playing soccer a few days earlier, presented with pain and swelling along the medial aspect of the left foot. Clinical examination revealed an area of swelling and tenderness anteroinferiorly to the medial malleolus. Radiographs were considered normal and the patient was treated with a topical anti-inflammatory agent. During the following seven months the patient continued to experience pain on the medial side of the left foot, especially after a prolonged activity and when putting on shoes. Focal redness and tenderness was also evident.

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.
