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.

Structural Joints: Synovial Joints

4.8K
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...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Rheumatologists and orthopedists have historically diverged in arthroscopy use. While rheumatologists now use it less, new tools may foster future cooperation in joint investigation and treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Rheumatology
  • Medical Procedures

Background:

  • Rheumatologists' historical engagement with arthroscopy predates the 1980s, with key figures in early development.
  • Early rheumatologists published arthroscopic insights into rheumatic conditions, indicating significant early interest.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the evolution of arthroscopy use by rheumatologists and orthopedists.
  • To highlight diverging interests and explore opportunities for future collaboration between the two specialties.

Main Methods:

  • Personal recollections of key figures in arthroscopy.
  • Comprehensive review of existing medical literature on arthroscopy in rheumatology and orthopedics.

Main Results:

  • The American Rheumatism Association published arthroscopy guidelines before the Arthroscopy Association of North America.
  • American rheumatologists largely abandoned arthroscopy due to lack of demonstrated efficacy beyond placebo and the advent of biologics.
  • European rheumatologists continue to utilize arthroscopy for research, though ultrasound-guided biopsy is emerging as an alternative for synovial tissue acquisition.

Conclusions:

  • Despite differing applications, there is potential for renewed cooperation between orthopedists and rheumatologists in the evolving field of arthroscopy.
  • The development of new, office-friendly miniscopes could revitalize rheumatologists' interest in arthroscopy for diagnostic purposes.
