Smooth layer of cartilage covering bone ends and providing smooth gliding surface where they meet
Articular hyaline cartilage
Pockets of fatty tissue that buffer the joint
Fat pads
Lining of joint capsule. Lubricates joint by secreting synovial fluid, which acts as a shock absorber
Synovial membrane & fluid
Point of contact or connection between bones
Articulation
List pathology that leads to orthropedic surgery
Congenital, aquired disease, strain, damaged or dislocated joints, fracture, fragmentation
Generally a benign tumor that normally appears in the spur of the long bone

Fibroma
Malignant tumor of the bone
Osteosarcoma
Cancer in the bone marrow plasma cells
Myeloma
Tumors in the hyaline cartilage, most often malignant
Chondrosarcoma
Connects degenerative contracture and atrophy of a muscle resulting from long continued interference with normal circulation
Volkmann's contracture
Break in the bone; loss of continuity of bone
Fracture
Torn support structures such as ligaments and tendons or misalignment of the bone at the joint
Damaged or dislocated joints
Fracture where bone fragments do not protrude through adjacent tissue to puncture skin, though the bone may or may not be displaced
Closed / simple fracture
Bone fragments protrude through adjacent tissues and skin, creating a grave danger of infection, not only to tissue, but to the bone itself
Open / compound fracture
Fracture continues all the way through bone, versus one that extends through part of the bone
Complete or incomplete fracture
Bone is broken in several different places
