Classification of facial malformations
Abstract:
The Hamburg classification of craniofacial anomalies is introduced; it was first published by Pfeifer in 1967 and has been used in our hospital ever since. This morphogenetic classification is based on embryological data and divides the head into three major regions. Subclassification in the individual regions is done according to anatomical details. This system of classification has proved to be simple and useful. It can cope with every malformation and combination of anomalies. It meets all our needs for documentation and data processing. Last, but not least, it is a good aid for teaching students and young residents in embryology and in the understanding of malformations and syndromes.

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.
