Types of Synovial Joints

• Six types, based on shape of articular surfaces:

– Plane– Hinge– Pivot– Condylar– Saddle– Ball-and-socket

The shapes of the joint surfaces define the types of movements that can occur at a synovial joint; they also determine the classification of synovial joints into six structural types.

Flatarticularsurfaces

Gliding

Plane joint Nonaxial movement

Examples: Intercarpal joints, intertarsal joints, joints between vertebral articular surfaces

Carpals

Metacarpals

• Largest, most complex joint of body• Three joints surrounded by a single

joint cavity– Femoropatellar joint

• Plane joint• Allows gliding motion during knee flexion

– Lateral and medial tibiofemoral joints• Femoral condyles with lateral and medial

menisci of tibia• Allow flexion, extension, and some rotation

when knee partly flexed

Knee Joint

• At least 12 associated bursae

• Capsule is reinforced by muscle tendons– E.g., quadriceps and semimembranosus tendons

• Joint capsule is thin and absent anteriorly

• Anteriorly, quadriceps tendon gives rise to three broad ligaments– Medial and lateral patellar retinacula– Patellar ligament

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ)

• Mandibular condyle articulates with temporal bone

• Two types of movement– Hinge—depression and

elevation of mandible– Gliding—e.g., side-to-side

(lateral excursion) grinding of teeth

• Most easily dislocated joint in the body

Common Joint Injuries

• Cartilage tears– Due to compression and shear stress– Fragments may cause joint to lock or

bind– Cartilage rarely repairs itself– Repaired with arthroscopic surgery

• Ligaments repaired, cartilage fragments removed with minimal tissue damage or scarring

– Partial menisci removal renders joint less stable but still mobile; complete removal leads to osteoarthritis

– Meniscal transplant in younger patients– Perhaps meniscus grown from own

stem cells in future

Common Joint Injuries

• Sprains– Reinforcing ligaments stretched or torn– Partial tears slowly repair heal

• Poor vascularization– Three options if torn completely

• Ends sewn together• Replaced with grafts• Time and immobilization

Page 48: (Part B)mc3cb.com/pdf_ap_lecture_s6/C9_2_joints_extra_info_S2014.pdf · ligament˜ Lateral condyle of femur Lateral meniscus Tibia Fibula Anterior view of flexed knee, showing the

Common Joint Injuries

• Dislocations (luxations)– Bones forced out of alignment– Accompanied by sprains,

inflammation, and difficulty moving joint

– Caused by serious falls or contact sports

– Must be reduced to treat• Subluxation—partial

dislocation of a joint

Page 49: (Part B)mc3cb.com/pdf_ap_lecture_s6/C9_2_joints_extra_info_S2014.pdf · ligament˜ Lateral condyle of femur Lateral meniscus Tibia Fibula Anterior view of flexed knee, showing the

Inflammatory and Degenerative Conditions

• Bursitis– Inflammation of bursa, usually

caused by blow or friction– Treated with rest and ice and, if

severe, anti-inflammatory drugs• Tendonitis

– Inflammation of tendon sheaths typically caused by overuse

– Symptoms and treatment similar to bursitis

Arthritis

• >100 different types of inflammatory or degenerative diseases that damage joints

• Most widespread crippling disease in the U.S.

• Symptoms: pain, stiffness, and swelling of joint

• Acute forms: caused by bacteria, treated with antibiotics

• Chronic forms: osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gouty arthritis

Page 51: (Part B)mc3cb.com/pdf_ap_lecture_s6/C9_2_joints_extra_info_S2014.pdf · ligament˜ Lateral condyle of femur Lateral meniscus Tibia Fibula Anterior view of flexed knee, showing the

Osteoarthritis (OA)

• Common, irreversible, degenerative (''wear-and-tear'') arthritis

• May reflect excessive release of enzymes that break down articular cartilage

• By age 85 half of Americans develop OA, more women than men

• Probably related to normal aging process

Page 52: (Part B)mc3cb.com/pdf_ap_lecture_s6/C9_2_joints_extra_info_S2014.pdf · ligament˜ Lateral condyle of femur Lateral meniscus Tibia Fibula Anterior view of flexed knee, showing the

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Osteoarthritis (OA)

• More cartilage is destroyed than replaced in badly aligned or overworked joints

• Exposed bone ends thicken, enlarge, form bone spurs, and restrict movement

• Treatment: moderate activity, mild pain relievers, capsaicin creams– Glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, and

nutritional supplements not effective

Page 53: (Part B)mc3cb.com/pdf_ap_lecture_s6/C9_2_joints_extra_info_S2014.pdf · ligament˜ Lateral condyle of femur Lateral meniscus Tibia Fibula Anterior view of flexed knee, showing the

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)

• Chronic, inflammatory, autoimmune disease of unknown cause– Immune system attacks own cells

• Usually arises between ages 40 and 50, but may occur at any age; affects 3 times as many women as men

• Signs and symptoms include joint pain and swelling (usually bilateral), anemia, osteoporosis, muscle weakness, and cardiovascular problems

Page 54: (Part B)mc3cb.com/pdf_ap_lecture_s6/C9_2_joints_extra_info_S2014.pdf · ligament˜ Lateral condyle of femur Lateral meniscus Tibia Fibula Anterior view of flexed knee, showing the

© 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Rheumatoid Arthritis

• RA begins with synovitis of the affected joint

– Inflammatory blood cells migrate to joint, release inflammatory chemicals that destroy tissues

– Synovial fluid accumulates joint swelling and inflamed synovial membrane which thickens pannus that clings to articularcartilage

– Pannus erodes cartilage, scar tissue forms and connects articulating bone ends (ankylosis)

Rheumatoid Arthritis: Treatment

• Disrupt destruction of joints by immune system

• Steroidal and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs decrease pain and inflammation

• Immune suppressants slow autoimmune reaction

• Some agents target tumor necrosis factor to block action of inflammatory chemicals

• Can replace joint with prosthesis

Gouty Arthritis

• Deposition of uric acid crystals in joints and soft tissues, followed by inflammation

• High fructose leads to metabolic pathway with elevates uric acid crystals! (high fructose corn syrup)

• More common in men

• Typically affects joint at base of great toe

• In untreated gouty arthritis, bone ends fuse and immobilize joint

• Treatment: drugs, plenty of water, avoidance of alcohol

Developmental Aspects of Joints

• By embryonic week 8, synovial joints resemble adult joints

• Joint's size, shape, and flexibility modified by use

• Advancing years take toll on joints– Ligaments and tendons shorten and weaken– Intervertebral discs more likely to herniate– Most people in 70s have some degree of OA

• Full-range-of-motion exercise key to postponing joint problems
