Functional Classification of Joints01:09

Functional Classification of Joints

4.2K
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.

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

11
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Ankle Joint01:10

Ankle Joint

1.6K
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 Joints

1.4K
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...

Atherosclerosis III: Management

13
Management of atherosclerosis involves an integrated strategy encompassing pharmacological treatment, surgical interventions, lifestyle changes, and nutrition therapy to address the multifactorial nature of the disease.Pharmacological TherapyA cornerstone of atherosclerosis management is the use of pharmacological agents. Statins, such as atorvastatin, are pivotal in inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme that catalyzes an initial step in cholesterol synthesis in the liver. This reduction in...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Rheumatology
  • Musculoskeletal Disorders

Background:

  • Wrist arthritis is a prevalent condition with diverse etiologies and clinical manifestations.
  • Effective management necessitates a personalized approach considering patient-specific factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the causes and patterns of wrist arthritis.
  • To discuss current treatment strategies for preserving wrist function and minimizing complications.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on wrist arthritis.
  • Analysis of various surgical and non-surgical treatment modalities.
  • Discussion of factors influencing treatment selection.

Main Results:

  • Arthroscopy and denervation offer shorter recovery but variable effectiveness.
  • Total wrist arthrodesis or arthroplasty are effective for advanced cases or lower-demand patients.
  • Individualized treatment is key to successful outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Treatment for wrist arthritis should be tailored to the individual patient.
  • A spectrum of interventions exists, from minimally invasive to reconstructive procedures.
  • Focus on function preservation and complication reduction guides therapeutic decisions.
