Knee Joint01:23

Knee Joint

3.4K
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...

Certain organic substances change color in dilute solution when the hydronium ion concentration reaches a particular value. For example, phenolphthalein is a colorless substance in any aqueous solution with a hydronium ion concentration greater than 5.0 × 10−9 M (pH < 8.3). In more basic solutions where the hydronium ion concentration is less than 5.0 × 10−9 M (pH > 8.3), it is red or pink. Substances such as phenolphthalein, which can be used to determine the pH of a solution, are...

Structural Joints: Synovial Joints01:16

Structural Joints: Synovial Joints

7.4K
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...

Structural Joints: Fibrous Joints01:03

Structural Joints: Fibrous Joints

3.9K
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...

Structural Joints: Cartilaginous Joints01:17

Structural Joints: Cartilaginous Joints

4.3K
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...

Joints

35.9K
Joints, also called articulations or articular surfaces, are points at which ligaments or other tissues connect adjacent bones. Joints permit movement and stability, and can be classified based on their structure or function.
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
The bones of a...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Biomedical engineering
  • Geriatric medicine

Background:

  • Increasing numbers of older patients and younger osteoarthritis cases present new orthopedic challenges.
  • Conservative treatments are typically exhausted before surgical intervention is considered.
  • Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) aims to alleviate pain and improve mobility and quality of life.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze patient satisfaction rates following total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
  • To identify factors contributing to dissatisfaction after TKA.
  • To recommend strategies for improving patient outcomes and satisfaction in TKA.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current demographic trends impacting orthopedic patient populations.
  • Analysis of indications and criteria for qualifying patients for TKA.
  • Discussion of patient-reported outcomes and satisfaction levels post-TKA.

Main Results:

  • Approximately one-fifth of patients report dissatisfaction with TKA outcomes.
  • Current indications for TKA may not sufficiently account for all patient factors.
  • Patient expectations and pre-operative counseling require thorough evaluation.

Conclusions:

  • Narrowing the indications for TKA and enhancing pre-operative patient discussions are essential.
  • Addressing patient dissatisfaction requires a focus on appropriate patient selection and expectation management.
  • Further research is necessary to improve TKA success rates and patient satisfaction.
