Structural Joints: Synovial Joints01:16

Structural Joints: Synovial Joints

7.1K
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 Joints

3.8K
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

4.1K
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

35.8K
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...

Method of Joints01:30

Method of Joints

1.3K
The method of joints is a commonly used technique to analyze the forces in structural trusses. The method is based on the principle of equilibrium, which assumes that the truss members are connected by frictionless pins. The forces at each joint can be determined by considering the equilibrium of the forces acting on that joint.
Since plane truss members are in the same plane, each joint is subjected to a coplanar and concurrent force system. To apply the method of joints, the first step is to...

Introduction to Joints

4.9K
The adult human body usually has 206 bones, and except for the hyoid bone in the neck, each bone is connected to at least one other bone. Joints are the location where bones come together. Many joints allow for movement between the bones. At these joints, the articulating surfaces of the adjacent bones can move smoothly against each other. However, the bones of other joints may be joined by connective tissue or cartilage. These joints are designed for stability and provide little or no...

Summary

Postoperative delirium (POD) affects 1.5% of total joint arthroplasty patients. Key risk factors include older age, dementia, diabetes, renal disease, transfusions, and sedation, highlighting the need for targeted interventions.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Geriatric Medicine
  • Anesthesiology

Background:

  • Postoperative delirium (POD) is a frequent complication after surgery, increasing healthcare costs, patient morbidity, and mortality.
  • Early identification and management of POD are crucial for improving patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the incidence of POD in patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty (TJA).
  • To identify risk factors associated with POD following TJA using electronic health record data.

Main Methods:

  • An automated review of electronic health records was conducted for 11,970 adult patients who underwent TJA between 2008 and 2012.
  • POD was identified through nursing assessments and administrative billing codes.
  • Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent risk factors for POD.

Main Results:

  • The incidence of POD was 1.5% (181 patients).
  • Significant risk factors for POD included older age, dementia, diabetes mellitus, renal disease, blood transfusions, and intraoperative sedation.
  • Anesthetic management strategies were not found to be associated with POD risk.

Conclusions:

  • POD is a significant complication following TJA, associated with increased resource utilization.
  • Dementia, older age, and perioperative factors like blood transfusions and sedation are key predictors of POD.
  • Recognizing and mitigating risks associated with sedation and other identified factors may help reduce POD incidence.
