Ankle Joint01:10

Ankle Joint

2.5K
The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

Development of the Limb Synovial Joints01:07

Development of the Limb Synovial Joints

2.1K
Joints form during embryonic development in conjunction with the formation and growth of the associated bones. The embryonic tissue that gives rise to all bones, cartilage, and connective tissues of the body is called mesenchyme.
The mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into chondrocytes that form the hyaline cartilage, and later the cartilaginous model of the bone. This model further transforms into a bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.
During development, the limbs...

Knee Joint01:23

Knee Joint

2.9K
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...

Functional Classification of Joints01:09

Functional Classification of Joints

6.3K
Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses  or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Rheumatology
  • Podiatry

Background:

  • Midfoot arthritis leads to chronic pain and functional impairment.
  • Common causes include post-traumatic arthritis and primary osteoarthritis.
  • Inflammatory and neuropathic etiologies must be excluded before treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the management of midfoot arthritis.
  • To highlight the role of steroid injections in diagnosis and conservative care.
  • To discuss surgical fusion techniques and success factors.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of midfoot arthritis management.
  • Analysis of treatment modalities including injections and surgical fusion.
  • Evaluation of factors influencing surgical outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Steroid injections offer diagnostic and therapeutic benefits.
  • Surgical fusion is a definitive treatment option for midfoot arthritis.
  • High union rates (around 90%) are achievable with fusion.

Conclusions:

  • Comprehensive evaluation is crucial for effective midfoot arthritis management.
  • Conservative treatments like steroid injections are valuable.
  • Successful surgical fusion depends on patient selection, planning, joint preparation, and stable fixation.
