Shoulder joint involvement in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is common; however, it is first clinically manifested only after a delay. Initially, the aim should be to preserve the joint for as long as possible by means of adequate drug treatment and arthroscopic synovectomy. If definitive joint destruction nevertheless occurs hemiarthroplasty, anatomical and reverse shoulder arthroplasty are available. Hemiarthroplasty can result in pain amelioration and was the gold standard for a long time but it remains inferior to total shoulder arthroplasty in terms of pain reduction, improvement of the range of motion and durability. Reverse shoulder arthroplasty can also be used even in young patients with JIA, particularly when rotator cuffs are also involved. A metaphyseal fixation of the short stem and a modular design of the prosthesis make these attractive, even with respect to the inevitable necessity for revisions.

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.

Development of the Limb Synovial Joints
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...
Changes in the Appendicular Skeleton with Age
Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...
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...
Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
