	Joint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In fibrous joints bones are joined by tight and inflexible layers of dense connective tissue, consisting mainly of collagen fibers.
		Examples of cartilaginous joints are the pubic symphysis, the joints between the ribs and the sternum, and the cartilage connecting the growth regions of immature long bones.
		Amphiarthroses are slightly moveable joints where the two bone surfaces at the joint - both covered in hyaline cartilage - are joined by strands of fibrocartilage.

	Temporomandibular joint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a diarthrosis joint that connects the mandible (lower jaw) to the temporal bone at the side of a skull.
		This disorder is marked by an acute or chronic inflammation of the temporomandibular joint.
		The nerves of the temporomandibular joint are derived from the auriculotemporal and masseteric branches of the mandibular nerve, the arteries from the superficial temporal branch of the external carotid.

		The carpometacarpal joint is formed between carpal bones 1, 11, 111, and IV and the base of metacarpal bones 1, II, III, IV, and V. This joint is supported by numerous short ligaments, as is the middle carpal joint.
		(3) The carpometacarpal joint is responsible for approximately 5% of carpal motion.

		The midcarpal joints are those that connect the four carpal bones in the proximal row with the four carpal bones in the distal row.
		The radiocarpal joint is where the bones of the forearm, the radius and the ulna, meet the proximal row of carpal bones.
		The carpometacarpal joints of the second and third metacarpals are fibrous or fixed, rendering the second and third metacarpals immobile.

	Carpometacarpal Joint Contact Areas (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		It has been hypothesized that localized stress peaks on the dorso-radial and/or volar-ulnar regions of the articular surfaces of the trapezium and metacarpal lead to cartilage erosion and may be resonsible for the progression of the disease.
		The objective of this study was to determine the contact areas in this joint under the functional position of lateral (key) pinch, and in the extremes of joint range of motion.
		Eight female and five male human cadaver hands were tested in vitro with the thumb under a 25 N load in the lateral pinch position, and under small muscle loads (0-5 N) with the thumb in flexion, extension, abduction, adduction and neutral positions.

	Frequency of Occurrence and Ease of Articulation of Sign Language Handshapes
		The synovial joints are the distal interphalangeal joints, the proximal interphalangeal joints, the metacarpophalangeal joints, the radiocarpal joint, and all of the joints of the thumb.
		This fact may seem counterintuitive because, at the carpometacarpal joint, the index and middle are the fingers that are fixed whereas the ring and pinky are slightly moveable.
		In contrast, because the ring and pinky metacarpals are not anatomically immobilized at the carpometacarpal joint, the ulnar fingers do not meet the condition for performing precision movements (proximal bones stabilized while distal bone performs the movement).

		Relevant Anatomy: The PIP joint is a ginglymus joint, or hinged joint, with a functional stability throughout its normal arc of flexion and extension.
		Contraindications: Arthrodesis and implant arthroplasty of the PIP joint are contraindicated in the presence of recent or chronic infection or in infirm individuals unable to sustain the rigors of elective surgical intervention.
		The preferred position for arthrodesis of the PIP joints is 30-40° for the index and the middle finger, 50° for the ring finger, and 55° for the small finger.

	Thumb Basal Joint / Carpometacarpal Arthritis
		The basal joint of the thumb (also called the CMC or Carpo-metacarpal joint) is located at the base of the thumb, adjacent to the wrist.
		Swelling and bony deformity of the joint may be visible.
		The diagnosis of basal joint arthritis is based upon a carefully performed history and physical examination with confirmation by X-rays, which allow the arthritis to be staged as early or mild, moderate, or severe.

		Patients whose preoperative x-rays show that degenerative change is not confined to the trapeziometacarpal joint but is more widespread, especially where the scaphotrapezial and scaphotrapezoid joints are involved, whilst suitable for trapezectomy would not be considered suitable for carpometacarpal joint replacement.
		Any intercarpal joint, particularly the scaphotrapezial and scaphotrapezoid joints, will be considered significantly degenerate where the radiographic joint space is reduced to less than 50% of normal.
		It is also anticipated that on rare occasions the extent of bony collapse affecting the trapezium and signifying osteonecrosis may be such as to preclude carpometacarpal joint replacement and will result in exclusion from the study.
