A '''joint''' is the location at which two or more [[bone]]s make contact. They are constructed to allow movement and provide mechanical support, and are classified structurally and functionally.
==Classification==
Wakktoekies are mainly classified structurally and functionally. Structural classification is determined by how the bones connect to each other, while functional classification is determined by the degree of movement between the articulating bones. In practice, there is significant overlap between the two types of classifications. In example, the highly mobile diarthroses are universally synovial joints (and in practice the two terms are used interchangeably) though the first term refers to the functional classification and the second to the structural classification.
Terms ending in the [[suffix]] -sis are singlular and refer to just one joint, while -ses is the suffix for pluralization.
=== Structural classification ===
[[Image:Gray298.png|thumb|right|Depiction of an intervertebral disk, a cartilaginous joint.]]
Structural classification names and divides joints according to how the bones are connected to each other. There are three structural classifications of joints: fibrous/immovable, cartilaginous and synovial:
====Fibrous/Immovable==== <!-- Fibrous joint redirects here-->
Fibrous/Immovable bones are connected by [[Fibrous connective tissue|dense connective tissue]], consisting mainly of [[collagen]]. The fibrous joints are further divided into three types:
*'''Sutures''' are found between bones of the [[skull]]. In fetal skulls the sutures are wide to allow slight movement during birth. They later become rigid (synarthrodial).
*'''Syndesmosis''' are found between long bones of the body, such as the [[radius (bone)|radius]] and [[ulna]] in forearm and the [[fibula]] and [[tibia]] in leg. Unlike other fibrous joints, syndesmoses are moveable (amphiarthrodial), albeit not to such degree as synovial joints.
*'''Gomphosis''' is a joint between the root of a [[tooth]] and the [[Dental alveolus|sockets]] in the [[maxilla]] or [[mandible]].
====Cartilaginous==== <!--Cartilaginous joint redirects here-->
Cartilaginous bones are connected entirely by [[cartilage]]. Cartilaginous joints allow more movement between bones than a fibrous joint but less than the highly mobile synovial joint. An example would be the joint between the [[manubrium]] and the [[sternum]]. Cartilaginous joints also forms the [[Bone#Formation|growth regions]] of immature long bones and the [[intervertebral disc]]s of the [[vertebral column|spinal column]].
*'''Primary cartilaginous joints''' - Known as "synchondroses". Bones are connected by hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage, sometimes occurring between ossification centers. This cartilage may ossify with age. Examples in humans are the joint between the first rib and the manubrium of the sternum, and the "growth plates" between ossification centers in long bones. These joints usually allow no movement, or minimal movement in the case of the manubriosternal and first manubriocostal joints.
*'''Secondary cartilaginous joints''' - Known as "symphyses". Fibrocartilaginous joints, usually occurring in the midline. Examples in human anatomy would be the intervertebral discs, and the pubic symphysis. Articulating bones at a symphasis are covered with hyaline cartilage and have a thick, fairly compressable pad of fibrocartilage between them.
====Synovial====
{{Main|Synovial joint}}
Synovial joints have a space between the articulating bones for [[synovial fluid]]. This classification contains joints that are the most mobile of the three, and includes the [[knee]] and [[shoulder]]. These are further classified into [[ball and socket joint]]s, [[condyloid joint]]s, [[saddle joint]]s, [[hinge joint]]s, [[pivot joint]]s, and [[gliding joint]]s.
===Functional classification ===
[[Image:Illu synovial joint.jpg|thumb|right|Diagram of a synovial (diarthrosis) joint.]]
Joints can also be classified functionally, by the degree of mobility they allow, into synarthroses, amphiarthroses and diarthroses:
====Synarthrosis====
Synarthroses permit little or no mobility. Most synarthrosis joints are fibrous. They can be categorised by how the two bones are joined together:
* ''Synchondroses'' are joints where the two bones are connected by a piece of cartilage.
* ''Synostoses'' are where two bones that are initially separted eventually fuse together, essentially becoming one bone. In humans the plates of the cranium fuse together as a child approaches adulthood. Children whose craniums fuse too early may suffer deformities and brain damage as the skull does not expand properly to accommodate the growing brain, a condition known as [[craniostenosis]].
====Amphiarthrosis====
{{Main|Amphiarthrosis}}
Amphiarthroses permit slight mobility. The two bone surfaces at the joint are both covered in hyaline cartilage and joined by strands of [[fibrocartilage]]. Most amphiarthrosis joints are cartilaginous.
====Diarthrosis====
{{Seealso|Synovial joint}}
Diarthroses permit a variety of movements (e.g. [[flexion]], [[anatomical terms of motion|adduction, pronation]]). Only synovial joints are diarthrodial. They can be divided into six classes:
* ''1. [[Ball and socket joint|Ball and Socket]]'' - such as the shoulder or the hip and [[femur]].
* ''2. [[Hinge joint|Hinge]]'' - such as the elbow.
* ''3. [[Pivot joint|Pivot]]'' - such as the [[Radius (bone)|radius]] and [[ulna]].
* ''4. [[Condyloid joint|Condyloid (or ellipsoidal)]]'' - such as the wrist between radius and [[carpals]], or [[knee]]
* ''5. [[Saddle joint|Saddle]]'' - such as the joint between carpal thumbs and [[metacarpals]].
* ''6. [[Gliding joint|Gliding]]'' - such as between the carpals.
* ''6. [[Fixed joints]]''- such as between plates in the Cranium.
===Biomechanical classification===
Joints can also be classified based on their anatomy or on their biomechanic properties. According to the anatomic classification, joints are subdivided into ''simple'' and ''compound,'' depending on the number of bones involved, and into ''complex'' and ''combination'' joints.
# Simple Joint: 2 articulation surfaces (eg. shoulder joint, hip joint)
# Compound Joint: 3 or more articulation surfaces (eg. radiocarpal joint)
# Complex Joint: 3 or more articulation surfaces AND an articular disc
===Anatomical=== <!--joint groups redirects here-->
The joints may be classified anatomically into the following groups:
#[[articulations of hand]]
#[[wrist]]s
#[[elbow]]s
#[[axillary articulations]]s
#[[sternoclavicular joint]]s
#[[vertebral articulation]]s
#[[temporomandibular joint]]s
#[[sacroiliac joint]]s
#[[hip joint]]s
#[[knee]]
#[[articulations of foot]]
==Arthritis==
{{Main|Arthritis}}
Arthritis and direct [[physical trauma]] to a joint are the causes of joint damage. Arthritis is a group of conditions where there is damage caused to the [[joint]]s of the body. Arthritis is the leading cause of disability in people over the age of 55.
There are many different forms of arthritis, each of which has a different cause. The most common form of arthritis, [[osteoarthritis]] (also known as degenerative joint disease) occurs following trauma to the joint, following an infection of the joint or simply as a result of aging. Furthermore, there is emerging evidence that abnormal anatomy may contribute to early development of osteoarthritis. Other forms of arthritis are [[rheumatoid arthritis]] and [[psoriatic arthritis]], which are [[autoimmune disorder|autoimmune diseases]] in which the body is attacking itself. [[Septic arthritis]] is caused by joint [[infection]]. [[gout|Gouty arthritis]] is caused by deposition of [[uric acid]] crystals in the joint that results in subsequent inflammation. Additionally, there is a less common form of gout that is caused by the formation of rhomboidal shaped crystals of calcium pyrophosphate. This form of gout is known as [[Calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease|pseudogout]].
