Structural Joints: Cartilaginous Joints

4.9K
As the name indicates, at a cartilaginous joint, the adjacent bones are united by cartilage, a tough but flexible type of connective tissue. Unlike synovial joints, these types of joints lack a joint cavity and involve bones joined together by either hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage.
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...

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • A previously unreported case of painless squeaking in the neck following cervical disc replacement is presented.
  • The symptom emerged in a patient who underwent anterior cervical decompression with total cervical disc replacement for severe C6 radiculopathy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To document and analyze a novel case of post-operative cervical squeaking.
  • To investigate the potential causes and characteristics of this unusual auditory phenomenon.

Main Methods:

  • A 45-year-old male patient with severe C6 radiculopathy underwent anterior cervical decompression and total cervical disc replacement (C5-6 and C6-7).
  • Post-operatively, the patient reported experiencing painless neck squeaking, particularly after exercise involving impact or vibration.

Main Results:

  • The squeaking sound was first noticed 6 months post-surgery, coinciding with the resumption of athletic activities.
  • Episodes occurred after running or cycling, were painless, and resolved within 24 hours.
  • The frequency and intensity of the squeaking gradually decreased over 24 months, eventually abating completely.

Conclusions:

  • The etiology of the painless cervical squeaking remains elusive, likely multifactorial.
  • A hypothesis suggests the Prestige LP disc's design characteristics may contribute to the audible squeak, warranting further investigation.
