Abstract:
The experimental study analyzed ultrasonographic image of the artificial filling of adducted glenohumeral joint on a cadaver in the half-sitting position in dependence on the instilled volume of liquid. Evaluated on the basis of statistical methods are: minimum detectable volume (3,7 +/- 1,5 ccm), the volume of axillary recess (5,2 +/-1,9 ccm), the amount of liquid expanding the articular capsule and subsequently passing into communicating recesses (11,4 +/- 4,1 ccm), and approximate maximal volume of the joint (326,0 +/- 5,3 ccm). Also the proportion berween the maximum volume of the joint and preceding values was identified, outside the minimum detectable volume. Based on the results of the experimental study in comparison with practice the authors developed an auxiliary table evaluating the clinical and US image in relation to different degree of the filling of the glenohumeral joint. Key words: shoulder, ultrasonography, effusion, evacuation.

Structural Joints: Synovial Joints
Joints
Structural joint classifications are based on the material that makes up the joint as well as whether or not the joint contains a space between the bones. Joints are structurally classified as fibrous, cartilaginous, or synovial.
Fibrous Joints Are Immovable

Structural Joints: Cartilaginous Joints
There are two types of cartilaginous joints:
Synchondrosis
A synchondrosis ("joined by cartilage") is a cartilaginous joint where bones are connected by hyaline cartilage. Synchondrosis may be temporary or...
Development of the Limb Synovial Joints
The mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into chondrocytes that form the hyaline cartilage, and later the cartilaginous model of the bone. This model further transforms into a bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.
During development, the limbs...
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.
