Usually bilateral1
Dislocation4
  • CASE: We describe a case of a traumatic superior dislocation of the sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) due to an isolated rupture of the costoclavicular ligament (CCL). (bvsalud.org)
  • Sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) dislocations may follow direct trauma to the anteromedial aspect of the clavicle that drives it backward and causes a posterior dislocation. (medscape.com)
  • In a study of 23 patients with atraumatic sternoclavicular dislocation, in which the clavicle subluxates earlier in abduction than in forward flexion, the average at diagnosis was 18.6 years. (medscape.com)
  • Type 3: rupture of SCJ and costoclavicular ligaments, resulting in dislocation of the joint. (medscape.com)
Posterior1
  • The capsule surrounding the joint is weakest inferiorly, while it is reinforced on the superior, anterior, and posterior aspects by the various ligaments, including the interclavicular, anterior and posterior sternoclavicular, and costoclavicular ligaments. (medscape.com)
Tenderness1
  • Pelvic examination usually demonstrates bilateral adnexal tenderness, possible tenderness over the uterine fundus, and possible cervical motion tenderness. (medscape.com)
Injury2
  • This instability increases the likelihood of joint injury, often leading to a degenerative process in which tissues break down and no longer function well. (wikipedia.org)
  • Physical examination of the shoulder to feel for injury and discover the limits of movement, location of pain, and extent of joint instability. (wikipedia.org)
Distal4
  • Within this context, the purpose of our study was to evaluate normal morphometric measurements of the wrist in the pediatric population and to identify if phi (φ) is part of the distal radioulnar joint. (bvsalud.org)
  • Patients with generalized arthritis usually have the distal interphalangeal joints of the fingers involved, the base of the thumbs, the first great toe joint, the spinal facet joints, knees, and hips. (ptandme.com)
  • The main clinical marker for OA is Heberden's nodes, which are hard lumps at the distal finger joints. (ptandme.com)
  • The distal interphalangeal joints at the tip of the fingers are characteristically affected. (ptandme.com)
Degenerative1
Acromioclavicular1
  • The acromioclavicular (AC) joint is located between the acromion (part of the scapula that forms the highest point of the shoulder) and the clavicle. (wikipedia.org)
Synovial2
  • The sternoclavicular (SC) joint is a saddle-shaped, synovial joint that provides the primary skeletal connection between the axial skeleton and the upper limb. (medscape.com)
  • A freely moveable synovial joint links the upper extremity to the torso, with the sternoclavicular joint (SCJ) participating in all movements of the upper extremity. (medscape.com)
Anterior2
Moveable1
  • The other joints are less commonly affected, particularly if they are not moveable joints. (ptandme.com)
Capsule3
  • Most of the SCJ's strength and stability originates from the joint capsule and supporting ligaments. (medscape.com)
  • The capsule is a soft tissue envelope that encircles the glenohumeral joint. (wikipedia.org)
  • For example, the front of the joint capsule is anchored by three glenohumeral ligaments. (wikipedia.org)
Shoulder6
  • The shoulder is the most movable joint in the body. (wikipedia.org)
  • The shoulder joint is composed of three bones: the clavicle (collarbone), the scapula (shoulder blade), and the humerus (upper arm bone) (see diagram). (wikipedia.org)
  • Two joints facilitate shoulder movement. (wikipedia.org)
  • The glenohumeral joint, to which the term "shoulder joint" commonly refers, is a ball-and-socket joint that allows the arm to rotate in a circular fashion or to hinge out and up away from the body. (wikipedia.org)
  • citation needed] The rotator cuff is a structure composed of tendons that, with associated muscles, holds the ball at the top of the humerus in the glenoid socket and provides mobility and strength to the shoulder joint. (wikipedia.org)
  • Some of these tests include:[citation needed] X-ray Arthrogram-Diagnostic record that can be seen on an X-ray after injection of a contrast fluid into the shoulder joint to outline structures such as the rotator cuff. (wikipedia.org)
Bone1
  • It allows for detection of the usual features of OA (including osteophyte formation, cysts on the bone, and joint space narrowing). (ptandme.com)
Interpret1
Patients1
  • Erosive OA has a worsened outcome than regular OA and can be seen on x-ray showing joint erosions (wearing down) in up to 8% of patients. (ptandme.com)
Symptoms1
  • Symptoms can affect just one joint or several joints. (ptandme.com)
Soft tissue1
  • There is subacute or insidious pain with soft tissue swelling and numbness of multiple finger joints. (ptandme.com)
Clavicle1
  • The SCJ is a saddle-type joint that provides free movement of the clavicle in nearly all planes. (medscape.com)
Pain4
  • Pain may be midline, unilateral, or bilateral. (medscape.com)
  • Arthritis can be symmetric, meaning the pain and inflammation is roughly the same on both sides of the body. (ptandme.com)
  • The primary problems with OA are joint pain and stiffness. (ptandme.com)
  • Osteoarthritis of the hip can be seen as increased pain, stiffness, aching sensation, and restricted movement of the hip joint. (ptandme.com)
Body3
  • CONCLUSION: We found that the golden ratio exists in our body to play its harmony in the pediatric wrist joint. (bvsalud.org)
  • Others affect many joints in the body and are called polyarthritis. (ptandme.com)
  • It can also be asymmetric, affecting just about any joint in the body at any given point in time. (ptandme.com)
Patient1
  • Gradually, more joints become involved and the patient becomes more debilitated. (ptandme.com)
Form1
  • Osteoarthritis (OA) is slowly-developing form of arthritis that can affect nearly every joint and that can affect individuals as they age. (ptandme.com)
Include1
  • The joints that are particularly a problem for OA include the knees, hips, interphalangeal (hand) joints, facet joints of the neck and back, first great toe joint, and thumb joints. (ptandme.com)
Rheumatoid arthritis2
  • This article will talk about several of the major types of arthritis, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, septic (infectious) arthritis, and crystal arthritis (which includes gout). (ptandme.com)
  • It should be emphasized that the characteristics of peripheral arthritis in AS and other forms of SpA are similar, and distinct from those of rheumatoid arthritis. (clinicalgate.com)
Facet3
  • The joints that are particularly a problem for OA include the knees, hips, interphalangeal (hand) joints, facet joints of the neck and back, first great toe joint, and thumb joints. (ptandme.com)
  • Patients with generalized arthritis usually have the distal interphalangeal joints of the fingers involved, the base of the thumbs, the first great toe joint, the spinal facet joints, knees, and hips. (ptandme.com)
  • Inflammatory arthritis of the apophyseal (facet) joints is common, with synovitis, inflammation at the bony attachment of the joint capsule, and subchondral bone marrow granulation tissue. (clinicalgate.com)
Tendon1
  • Inflammation in the fibrocartilaginous enthesis, the region where a tendon, ligament, or joint capsule attaches to bone, is a characteristic lesion in AS and other SpAs, both at axial and peripheral sites. (clinicalgate.com)
Extent1
Inflammation2
  • There are several types of arthritis, which can be defined as an inflammation, degeneration, or infection of a joint. (ptandme.com)
  • Arthritis can be symmetric, meaning the pain and inflammation is roughly the same on both sides of the body. (ptandme.com)
Gradually2
  • Gradually, more joints become involved and the patient becomes more debilitated. (ptandme.com)
  • Eventually the eroded joint margins are gradually replaced by fibrocartilage regeneration and then by ossification. (clinicalgate.com)
Abdominal pain1
  • An 8-year-old girl presented to an outside community emergency department (ED) with 2 weeks of joint pain impeding her ability to walk and progressive abdominal pain. (consultant360.com)
Shoulder joint5
