Dislocations of the Hip& Knee

Dislocation Gone Bad Some dislocations can leave you permanently disabled. *This next picture is very graphic, if you need to leave or turn around feel free to do so at this time.

Compound dislocation

Structural Classifications Fibrous- Without any movement, fibrous joints are connected to the bones. Your skull and pelvis are held together by fibrous joints, also the spinous processes and the vertebrae. Cartilaginous- The joints which the bones are connected by cartilage. These joints allow little movement, examples are in the spine and the ribs. Fibrous- Without any movement, fibrous joints are connected to the bones.

Cartilaginous

Structural cont… Synovial- These joints allow more movement than the other two. The cavities between the bone is filled with synovial fluid. The fluid helps protect bones and keep them moisturized.

Functional Classifications These joints can be classified as: Synarthrosis- joint allowing no movement at all. Amphiarthrosis- joint allowing minimal movement. Diarthrosis- Joint that allows many different types of movement, such as: a flexion, adduction, and pronation. These joints can be classified as: Synarthrosis- joint allowing no movement at all.

Synarthrosis Very little if any mobility. These can be categorized by how two bones are joined together. Synchondroses- Joints of two bones joined together by a piece of cartilage. Syndesmoses- Joints where two bones are connected by one or more ligaments. Synostoses- The merging of two bones, until they become almost one bone. An example would be plates of the cranium, they are separated ay birth, and over time as the body grows into adulthood they fuse together. Very little if any mobility.

Diarthroses Most popular and movable joint in the body. Bones are covered in cartilage, the cartilage thickness varies with each different joint. Articular cartilage has multiple layers. A thin layer provides a smooth surface for bones to slide against each other during motion. Synovium covers the non-cartilaginous areas of the articular capsule. This is a separate layer of cellular tissue, containing blood vessels and nerves. Most popular and movable joint in the body.

Combining Joints by Image Hinge- allows extension and retraction. Saddle- Movement back and forth, up and down. Ball and Socket- allows movement in almost all direction. Found in the hips and shoulders. Pivot- rotation around an axis. Examples, neck, wrists, ankles, forearms, etc. Ellipsoid- allow movement to lesser magnitude, such as the wrist.

Rheumatoid Arthritis The meaning of arthritis is “joint inflammation”. This causes pain, swelling, and stiffness in the afflicted area. This type of arthritis is one of the most common forms. RA occurs when your body’s immune system raids a joint. This causes a worsening of the situation of severe pain most commonly found in the wrists, hands, feet, neck, elbows, shoulders, knees, hips, and ankles. Another downside to RA is loss of appetite, energy, a fever may occur, or lumps under the skin. RA mostly affects women, it is not a rare disease. It covers 1.3 million adults.

Osteoarthritis Along with RA, osteoarthritis is the other leading contender in the most popular type of arthritis. This kind only begins with the breaking down of joint cartilage. Leading into the pain and stiffness. The matter of course affects your hip, knee, spine, and the joints of the fingers. Osteoarthritis differs from the others because it can be caused by continuous work- related harm, and/or physical disturbances. This can cause work disabilities. 27 million adults over the age of 25 are affected.

Sprain VS. Strain A sprain is harm done to the ligaments surrounding a certain joint some causes of a sprain is when a joint is pressured to move into an unknown position it is not used to. A sprain is easier to take care of than a strain. Use ice to decrease the swelling, not moving than sprained are, keeping it bandaged(properly), and elevated above the heart, especially while sleeping.

Sprain vs. Strain cont… A strain is trauma done to the muscle or tendon connected to the bone or joint. Depending on how bad the strain is, it could simply be an overstretched muscle, or as worse as a partial or complete tear.
