Abstract:
Orthopaedic and traumatologic involvement in patients with rheumatic diseases require extensive knowledge of these immunologically impairing illnesses. This concerns both the handling of medication and conservative treatment. The destructive processes of the joints and the spine follow established pathways. Various operating procedures are helpful depending on the stage of articular destruction. The special features of the entire perioperative management of affected persons has to be observed. Soft tissue surgical interventions are followed by arthrodesis or arthroplasty in later courses of destruction. In Germany, the orthopaedic rheumatologist specializes in the conservative and surgical treatment of inflammatory systemic diseases. Audited centres for operative interventions of the German Society for Orthopaedic Rheumatology (DGORh) seem to be the best fit for this purpose.

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
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
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.
