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 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

Overview of DNA Repair

34.0K
In order to be passed through generations, genomic DNA must be undamaged and error-free. However, every day, DNA in a cell undergoes several thousand to a million damaging events by natural causes and external factors. Ionizing radiation such as UV rays, free radicals produced during cellular respiration, and hydrolytic damage from metabolic reactions can alter the structure of DNA. Damages caused include single-base alteration, base dimerization, chain breaks, and cross-linkage.

Summary

Severe acromioclavicular (AC) joint instability often requires surgery. This technical note details a preferred surgical technique using coracoacromial ligament transfer and suture fixation for high-grade AC dislocations.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Sports Medicine
  • Anatomy

Background:

  • Acromioclavicular (AC) joint instability is a common, debilitating injury.
  • Conservative treatment is often effective, but severe dislocations may need surgical intervention.
  • Previous surgical methods include screw fixation, ligament transfer, and ligament reconstruction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a preferred surgical technique for treating high-grade AC joint dislocations.
  • To present a novel approach combining coracoacromial ligament transfer and coracoclavicular suture fixation.

Main Methods:

  • Coracoacromial ligament transfer to the lateral clavicle.
  • Nonabsorbable suture fixation between the coracoid process and clavicle.
  • Detailed description of the surgical procedure for AC joint stabilization.

Main Results:

  • The described technique aims to provide stable fixation for severe AC joint dislocations.
  • This method addresses both coracoacromial and coracoclavicular instability.
  • Focus on achieving durable joint stabilization and improved patient outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • The described technique offers a viable surgical option for high-grade AC joint dislocations.
  • This approach combines ligament transfer with direct suture fixation for robust stabilization.
  • Further studies may evaluate the long-term efficacy and patient-reported outcomes of this technique.
