Synovial joint

straight and resisting the natural posture of their body. It is a condition in which the dancer or athlete hears/ feels a snapping or popping sensation in the hip joint. For the majority of the population, snapping hip syndrome does not cause pain or discomfort, but in a sport where the athlete is constantly manipulating the hip joint, such as in dance, it may cause some pain or discomfort consequently leading to an interference with performance. If the dancer does feel pain or discomfort from…

Social Care. There are around 16 million people effected by musculoskeletal conditions in the UK with 10 million of those suffering with arthritis (British Society for Rheumatology 2013). Arthritis is very common condition which mainly effects the joints in the body, causing pain and inflammation (Clough, 2006) however, arthritis can also effect other systems in the body, This assignment seeks to explore the effects arthritis has on the anatomy and physiology whilst covering the aetiology,…

blood. This surplus of uric acid is also known as hyperuricemia. Hyperuricemia can lead to a build up of fluid in the joints, which form small crystals both inside and around the joints (Schmerling, 2010). These crystals can cause intense pain, inflammation and swelling; which can be exceptionally debilitating to the sufferer. Gout has the ability to affect any joint in the body, it does however have a particular affinity for the toes. Other common areas that are affected by gout are…

The pelvis provides the anchor for these powerful muscles. It possesses a ‘ball and socket’ joint function, this allows 360o movement and permits agility and flexibility for the femurs (Roberts, Reiss and Monger, 2000). During running, the body’s weight is transferred successively between each leg. Large muscles such as the quadriceps, hamstrings…

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common, progressive, degenerative joint process where the articular cartilage layer on the ends of bones at the joints deteriorates, and the bone plate gets thicker and more sclerotic. Additionally, this affects the joint’s protective mechanisms including ligaments and muscle. OA is manifested as a monoarticular or polyarticular phenomenon and is often asymmetric. It can occasionally appear as a more generalized disease. OA usually begins asymptomatically when the…

ANSWER 1 IDDM: Type 1 diabetes is a chronic disease, which starts to develop in childhood it was known as juvenile onset as well. It is a progressive destruction of autoimmune pancreatic beta cells depending upon the individuals. Genetically individuals develop islets of autoantibodies from months to years before diagnosing type 1 diabetes. Glucose level is increased as the body starts to produce low level of insulin and glucose is eliminated in the form of urine. Weight loss, frequent…

in the body, synovial membranes, joints, cartilage, tendons, 4 ligaments, the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), medial cruciate ligament (MCL) and the lateral cruciate ligament (LCL). There are also sac like pouches called menisci which are like Dr. Scholls for the knee. Over time the joints and cartilage in the knee will start to wear down due to osteoarthritis (hopkinsmedicine.org, nd). While the break down is occurring of the cartilage and joints, the…

A joint is where the two relevant parts of skeletons in the body are fitted together. It is usually movable body part in which adjacent bones are joined by ligaments and other fibrous tissues. Cartilage in synovial joints serves as a support for soft tissue and provides the articular surface for joint movement. It is also involved in the growth of long bones before physical maturity is reached (________)…

Mallet finger is a type of fracture which occurs in the distal joint of the finger and causes abnormal finger flexion at distal joint. There are two ways to treat mallet finger. One of them is treating by splint that is a thermoplastic splint, it can be custom or ready-made to keep the finger in hyper extension position and the patient must keep it for a while until the bone will have healed. The other method is treating by Kirschner wire (k- wire) this wire should be inserted inside the bone to…

CMC and MCP (Starkey, et al., 2011). 19. Central compartment (The section between the II & III MCP) a. The flexor tendons leave the carpal tunnel and enter a central compartment in the palm. This compartment contains the flexor tendons and their synovial sheaths, the lumbrical muscles, and the digital nerves and vessels (AnatomyExpert, 2014). 20. Hypothenar compartment/eminence (The section on the outside of the 5th MCP) a. This compartment contains the muscles of the hypothenar eminence which…
