Summary
Rheumatoid arthritis often causes hip joint problems requiring joint replacement surgery. Personalized implant choices and experienced surgical teams are crucial for successful outcomes and patient mobility.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Rheumatology
Context:
- Rheumatoid arthritis frequently causes hip joint functional disturbances and deformities.
- Conservative treatments are often insufficient to prevent significant joint damage.
Purpose:
- To highlight the necessity of hip joint replacement in advanced rheumatoid arthritis.
- To outline key considerations for surgical intervention and patient management.
Summary:
- Hip joint replacement is vital for maintaining mobility and independence in rheumatoid arthritis patients.
- Implant selection and fixation depend on clinical, radiological, and patient-specific factors.
- Surgical procedures, pre-operative, and post-operative care demand specialized expertise.
Impact:
- Emphasizes the importance of specialized surgical centers and experienced orthopedic and rheumatology surgeons.
- Guides clinical decision-making for hip replacement in rheumatoid arthritis.
- Aims to improve functional outcomes and patient independence after surgery.

01:23Knee Joint
The knee joint is the most complicated joint in the body. It consists of three articulations– two tibiofemoral and one patellofemoral. As is characteristic of synovial joints, the knee joint has a thin articular capsule that partially surrounds this joint cavity. Additionally, several ligaments, muscles, and cartilaginous structures support the movement of the knee.
A total of seven ligaments support the knee joint. The patellar ligament, which is also attached to the quadriceps femoris group...

01:16Bones of the Lower Limb: Femur and Patella
The femur is the body's longest and strongest bone spanning the thigh region. Its head articulates with the acetabulum of the hip bone to form the hip joint. A minor indentation on the medial side of the femoral head, called the fovea capitis, serves as the site of attachment for the ligament of the head of the femur. This weak ligament spans the femur and acetabulum and supports the hip joint. The narrowed region below the head is the neck of the femur. The inclination angle between the neck...
01:09Functional Classification of Joints
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.

01:16Structural Joints: Synovial Joints
Synovial joints are the most common type of joint in the body. A key structural characteristic for a synovial joint is the presence of a joint cavity. This fluid-filled space is where the articulating surfaces of the bones contact each other. Also, unlike fibrous or cartilaginous joints, the articulating bone surfaces at a synovial joint are not directly connected to each other with fibrous connective tissue or cartilage. This gives the bones of a synovial joint the ability to move smoothly...
01:03Structural Joints: Fibrous Joints
Fibrous joints are a type of joint where the bones are connected by fibrous connective tissue. These joints provide stability and minimal to no movement between the articulating bones. There are three types of fibrous joints.
Suture
All the bones of the skull, except for the mandible, are joined to each other by a fibrous joint called a suture. The fibrous connective tissue found at a suture strongly unites the adjacent skull bones and thus helps to protect the brain and form the face. In...
