Metacarpophalangeal Joint
The articulation between a metacarpal bone and a phalanx.
Finger Joint
The articulation between the head of one phalanx and the base of the one distal to it, in each finger.
Thumb
The first digit on the radial side of the hand which in humans lies opposite the other four.
Metacarpus
The region of the HAND between the WRIST and the FINGERS.
Collateral Ligaments
A number of ligaments on either side of, and serving as a radius of movement of, a joint having a hingelike movement. They occur at the elbow, knee, wrist, metacarpo- and metatarsophalangeal, proximal interphalangeal, and distal interphalangeal joints of the hands and feet. (Stedman, 25th ed)
Chondromatosis, Synovial
Rare, benign, chronic, progressive metaplasia in which cartilage is formed in the synovial membranes of joints, tendon sheaths, or bursae. Some of the metaplastic foci can become detached producing loose bodies. When the loose bodies undergo secondary calcification, the condition is called synovial osteochondromatosis.
Wrist Joint
The joint that is formed by the distal end of the RADIUS, the articular disc of the distal radioulnar joint, and the proximal row of CARPAL BONES; (SCAPHOID BONE; LUNATE BONE; triquetral bone).
Synovitis
Inflammation of a synovial membrane. It is usually painful, particularly on motion, and is characterized by a fluctuating swelling due to effusion within a synovial sac. (Dorland, 27th ed)
Joints
Also known as articulations, these are points of connection between the ends of certain separate bones, or where the borders of other bones are juxtaposed.
Finger Injuries
General or unspecified injuries involving the fingers.
Hand
The distal part of the arm beyond the wrist in humans and primates, that includes the palm, fingers, and thumb.
Arthroplasty, Replacement, Finger
Partial or total replacement of one or more FINGERS, or a FINGER JOINT.
Arthritis, Rheumatoid
A chronic systemic disease, primarily of the joints, marked by inflammatory changes in the synovial membranes and articular structures, widespread fibrinoid degeneration of the collagen fibers in mesenchymal tissues, and by atrophy and rarefaction of bony structures. Etiology is unknown, but autoimmune mechanisms have been implicated.
Carpal Bones
The eight bones of the wrist: SCAPHOID BONE; LUNATE BONE; TRIQUETRUM BONE; PISIFORM BONE; TRAPEZIUM BONE; TRAPEZOID BONE; CAPITATE BONE; and HAMATE BONE.
Fingers
Four or five slender jointed digits in humans and primates, attached to each HAND.
Osteoarthritis
A progressive, degenerative joint disease, the most common form of arthritis, especially in older persons. The disease is thought to result not from the aging process but from biochemical changes and biomechanical stresses affecting articular cartilage. In the foreign literature it is often called osteoarthrosis deformans.
Joint Instability
Lack of stability of a joint or joint prosthesis. Factors involved are intra-articular disease and integrity of extra-articular structures such as joint capsule, ligaments, and muscles.
Cartilage, Articular
A protective layer of firm, flexible cartilage over the articulating ends of bones. It provides a smooth surface for joint movement, protecting the ends of long bones from wear at points of contact.
Horses
Large, hoofed mammals of the family EQUIDAE. Horses are active day and night with most of the day spent seeking and consuming food. Feeding peaks occur in the early morning and late afternoon, and there are several daily periods of rest.
Range of Motion, Articular
The distance and direction to which a bone joint can be extended. Range of motion is a function of the condition of the joints, muscles, and connective tissues involved. Joint flexibility can be improved through appropriate MUSCLE STRETCHING EXERCISES.
Finger Phalanges
Bones that make up the SKELETON of the FINGERS, consisting of two for the THUMB, and three for each of the other fingers.
Tenosynovitis
Inflammation of the synovial lining of a tendon sheath. Causes include trauma, tendon stress, bacterial disease (gonorrhea, tuberculosis), rheumatic disease, and gout. Common sites are the hand, wrist, shoulder capsule, hip capsule, hamstring muscles, and Achilles tendon. The tendon sheaths become inflamed and painful, and accumulate fluid. Joint mobility is usually reduced.
Biomechanical Phenomena
The properties, processes, and behavior of biological systems under the action of mechanical forces.
Toe Joint
The articulation between the head of one phalanx and the base of the one distal to it, in each toe.
Movement
The act, process, or result of passing from one place or position to another. It differs from LOCOMOTION in that locomotion is restricted to the passing of the whole body from one place to another, while movement encompasses both locomotion but also a change of the position of the whole body or any of its parts. Movement may be used with reference to humans, vertebrate and invertebrate animals, and microorganisms. Differentiate also from MOTOR ACTIVITY, movement associated with behavior.
Dupuytren Contracture
A fibromatosis of the palmar fascia characterized by thickening and contracture of the fibrous bands on the palmar surfaces of the hand and fingers. It arises most commonly in men between the ages of 30 and 50.
Metatarsophalangeal Joint
The articulation between a metatarsal bone (METATARSAL BONES) and a phalanx.

Finger joint synovitis in rheumatoid arthritis: quantitative assessment by magnetic resonance imaging. (1/175)

OBJECTIVE: To assess quantitatively, by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the synovial membrane volume in second to fifth metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and healthy controls, and to compare the synovial membrane volumes with a more easily obtained semi-quantitative score for hypertrophic synovial membrane. PATIENTS AND METHODS: MCP joints of the dominant hand of 37 patients and five controls were examined clinically and by MRI. Laboratory assessments were performed. RESULTS: Median synovial membrane volumes were considerably larger in clinically active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) joints (e.g. 0.97 ml in the second MCP joint) than in clinically inactive joints (0.54 ml) and control joints (0.04 ml). Nevertheless, group distributions overlapped and marked volume differences were found within clinically uniform groups. The semi-quantitative score was highly correlated with the synovial volumes (Spearman rho = 0.79; P < 0.00001). Synovial membrane volumes were poorly related to the presence of rheumatoid factor and to laboratory markers of inflammation. CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that synovial membrane volumes, as determined by MRI, in finger joints are related to clinical signs of synovitis, but also that the volumes may vary more than what can be accounted for by the clinical appearances. A semi-quantitative score may be sufficient for more routine purposes.  (+info)

A preliminary study of ultrasound aspiration of bone erosion in early rheumatoid arthritis. (2/175)

OBJECTIVE: To develop a new technique to assess the primary lesion in early rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS: Ten patients with early RA and radiographically or MRI confirmed erosions had a needle introduced into the base of the erosion under sonographic guidance. Material was then aspirated from this site. RESULTS: The procedure was well tolerated with no complications. Small samples of necrotic bone and tissue were obtained in five out of 10 cases. In one case, a distinctive population of pleomorphic CD34 + cells with characteristics of bone marrow progenitors was isolated. Tissue invading bone with a characteristic appearance of pannus was not seen. CONCLUSION: A new method of sampling the earliest lesion in RA is described. The findings raise questions about the nature of bone damage in early RA.  (+info)

Sensory processing in Parkinson's and Huntington's disease: investigations with 3D H(2)(15)O-PET. (3/175)

There is conjoining experimental and clinical evidence supporting a fundamental role of the basal ganglia as a sensory analyser engaged in central somatosensory control. This study was aimed at investigating the functional anatomy of sensory processing in two clinical conditions characterized by basal ganglia dysfunction, i.e. Parkinson's and Huntington's disease. Based on previously recorded data of somatosensory evoked potentials, we expected deficient sensory-evoked activation in cortical areas that receive modulatory somatosensory input via the basal ganglia. Eight Parkinson's disease patients, eight Huntington's disease patients and eight healthy controls underwent repetitive H(2)(15)O-PET activation scans during two experimental conditions in random order: (i) continuous unilateral high-frequency vibratory stimulation applied to the immobilized metacarpal joint of the index finger and (ii) rest (no vibratory stimulus). In the control cohort, the activation pattern was lateralized to the side opposite to stimulus presentation, including cortical [primary sensory cortex (S1); secondary sensory cortex (S2)] and subcortical (globus pallidus, ventrolateral thalamus) regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) increases (P < 0.001). Between-group comparisons (P < 0.01) of vibration-induced rCBF changes between patients and controls revealed differences in central sensory processing: (i) in Parkinson's disease, decreased activation of contralateral sensorimotor (S1/M1) and lateral premotor cortex, contralateral S2, contralateral posterior cingulate, bilateral prefrontal cortex (Brodmann area 10) and contralateral basal ganglia; (ii) in Huntington's disease, decreased activation of contralateral S2, parietal areas 39 and 40, and lingual gyrus, bilateral prefrontal cortex (Brodmann areas 8, 9, 10 and 44), S1 (trend only) and contralateral basal ganglia; (iii) in both clinical conditions relative enhanced activation of ipsilateral sensory cortical areas, notably caudal S1, S2 and insular cortex. Our data show that Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease, beyond well-established deficits in central motor control, are characterized by abnormal cortical and subcortical activation on passive sensory stimulation. Furthermore, the finding that activation increases in ipsilateral sensory cortical areas may be interpreted as an indication of either altered central focusing and gating of sensory impulses, or enhanced compensatory recruitment of associative sensory areas in the presence of basal ganglia dysfunction. Altered sensory processing is thought to contribute to pertinent motor deficits in both conditions.  (+info)

Fibrocartilage in the extensor tendons of the human metacarpophalangeal joints. (4/175)

The extensor tendons of the fingers cross both the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and interphalangeal joints. Previous studies have shown that where the extensor tendons replace the capsule of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint, they contain a sesamoid fibrocartilage that articulates with the proximal phalanx during flexion. The fibrocartilage labels immunohistochemically for a variety of glycosaminoglycans and collagens. In the current study, we investigate the molecular composition of the extensor tendons at the level of the MCP joints. This is of particular interest because the tendon has a greater moment arm at this location (and might thus be subject to greater compression), but is separated from the joint cavity by the capsule and peritendinous tissue. Six hands were removed from elderly cadavers (39-85 years of age) and the MCP joints were fixed in 90% methanol. The extensor tendons were dissected from all fingers, cryosectioned, and immunolabelled with a panel of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies for types I, II, III, and VI collagens, chondroitin 4 and 6 sulphates, dermatan, and keratan sulphate and aggrecan. Antibody binding was detected with the Vectastain ABC 'Elite' avidin/biotin/peroxidase kit. The extensor tendons in all the fingers had a metachromatic sesamoid fibrocartilage on their deep surface which immunolabelled for types I, III, and VI collagens, and for all glycosaminoglycans and aggrecan. Labelling for type II collagen was also seen in some fibrocartilages and was a constant feature of all index fingers. This probably relates to the greater use of that digit and the higher loads to which its tendons are subject. Chondroitin 6 sulphate and type II collagen are the most consistent markers of the fibrocartilage phenotype and most of the chondroitin 6 sulphate is probably associated with aggrecan. It is concluded that the labelling profile of the tendon fibrocartilage in the different fingers at the MCP joints is broadly similar to that at the PIP joints. Thus, the potentially greater level of compression on the extensor tendons may be counterbalanced by the lack of fusion of the tendon with the joint capsule. It is suggested that the maintenance of a similar level of fibrocartilage differentiation at two different points along the length of the extensor tendon ensures that the tensile strength is the same in the two regions and that no weak link is present.  (+info)

Synovitis of small joints: sonographic guided diagnostic and therapeutic approach. (5/175)

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this pictorial essay is to describe the sonographic guided approach to investigation and local injection therapy of a small joint in a patient with psoriatic arthritis (PA). METHODS: Sonographic pictures are obtained using a high frequency ultrasonography apparatus equipped with a 13-MHz transducer. RESULTS: Ultrasonography allows a careful morphostructural assessment of soft tissue involvement in PA patients. Sonographic findings include joint cavity widening, capsular thickening, synovial proliferation, synovial fluid changes, tendon sheath widening. Ultrasound guided placement of the needle within the joint and injection of corticosteroid under sonographic control can be easily performed. CONCLUSIONS: High frequency ultrasonography is a quick and safe procedure that allows a useful diagnostic and therapeutic approach in patients with arthritis of small joints.  (+info)

Evaluation of pannus and vascularization of the metacarpophalangeal and proximal interphalangeal joints in rheumatoid arthritis by high-resolution ultrasound (multidimensional linear array). (6/175)

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the extent of intraarticular vascularization and pannus formation in metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by high-resolution ultrasound (US). METHODS: A newly developed, high-resolution multidimensional linear array US was utilized to obtain longitudinal and transverse scans of joints with active RA (n = 21), moderately active RA (n = 39), or inactive RA (n = 93), and of joints from healthy controls (n = 120). RESULTS: Healthy joints had no detectable pannus, whereas pannus could be detected in 52% of the joints with active RA, 82% of the joints with moderately active RA, and 67% of the joints with inactive RA. There was a significant difference in vascularization in the joints of all subgroups of RA patients and those of healthy subjects (P < 0.001). Moreover, vascularization differed significantly among the RA subgroups: inactive versus moderately active RA (P < 0.02) and inactive versus active RA (P < 0.05). Both pannus and vascularization appeared to be localized preferentially on the radial side of the joints. CONCLUSION: Evaluation of pannus and the extent of vascularization within the joints of patients with RA by high-resolution US might be helpful in the assessment of disease activity, and thus influence therapeutic strategies.  (+info)

Trapeziectomy for basal thumb joint osteoarthritis: 3- to 19-year follow-up. (7/175)

A consecutive series of 40 trapeziectomies in 30 patients with basal thumb joint osteoarthritis was reviewed. Sixteen thumbs had pan-trapezial and 24 thumbs trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis. Simple excision without soft tissue interposition was performed by the same surgeon using an identical surgical technique. Twenty-eight patients were female (mean age 57 years) with a mean follow-up of 11 (3-19) years. Twenty-eight patients were satisfied with their operation, with 26 thumbs being pain free. Thumb pinch strength was improved by 40% compared to preoperative values, but still remained 22% weaker than the non-operated side.  (+info)

The potential of digital dental radiography in recording the adductor sesamoid and the MP3 stages. (8/175)

The current study was undertaken to evaluate the reliability of using a recent advance in clinical radiographic technique, digital dental radiography, in recording two growth indicators: the adductor sesamoid and MP3 stages. With an exposure time five times less than that used in the conventional approach, this method shows greatest flexibility in providing a high quality digitized radiographic images of the two growth indicators under investigation.

Objectives: To compare the ability of two different dedicated extremity MRI (E-MRI) units and conventional radiography (CR) for identifying bone erosions in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and wrist joints.. Methods: CR and two MRI examinations (using 0.2 T Esaote Artoscan and 0.2 T portable MagneVu MV1000 units) of 418 bones in the dominant wrist and second to fifth MCP joints of 15 patients with RA and 4 healthy controls were performed and evaluated blindly for bones being visible and for erosions.. Results: In MCP joints, MagneVu visualised 18.5% of bones entirely and 71.1% were 67-99% visualised. In wrists, MagneVu visualised 1.5% of bones entirely, 39.8% were 67-99% visualised and 19% were not visualised at all. Artoscan and CR visualised all bones entirely. Artoscan, MagneVu and CR found 22, 19 and 15 bones with erosions in MCP joints and 66, 40 and 13 bones with erosions in wrist joints, respectively. With the previously validated Artoscan unit as standard reference, ...

A finger function simulator and surface replacement prosthesis for the metacarpophalangeal joint - Durham e-ThesesA finger function simulator and surface replacement prosthesis for the metacarpophalangeal joint - Durham e-Theses
Joint replacement surgery in the treatment of arthritic disease is now commonplace and on the whole very successful. Research into the design and development of prostheses has made major advances since the 1940s resulting in complex devices for almost all articulating joints of the body. In this thesis, a programme of work to design and test a surface replacement prosthesis for the metacarpophalangeal joint is presented. The anatomy and kinematics of the MCP joint are discussed for both normal and abnormal joint function and, based on these considerations, the design of a new surface replacement prosthesis is described. Various materials are explored with respect to their biocompatibility, durability and ease of fabrication with special attention being paid to one material - a new cross linked ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene - which is tested for wear and assessed for durability in long-term prototype tests. A finger function simulator is detailed which was designed and developed during ...

A patient was shown to have acute arthritis in a metacarpophalangeal joint, with local calcification indicated by x-rays. Surgical and pathological examinations showed strictly intra-articular apatite crystal deposits and an erosive osteoarthritis. These crystal deposits could account for the synovial inflammation; they are thought to be related to bone fragments embedded in the synovium. The predisposing role of previous local injections of corticosteroids is debatable. ...

Forty patients (156 metacarpophalangeal joints) with mutilating rheumatoid arthritis were randomly allocated in a blinded manner to have either NeuFlex or Sutter implants. Indications for operation were pain and severe deformity. Thirty-nine patients were followed up postoperatively for one year. An independent physiotherapist and occupational therapist examined each one. Grip strength, range of motion, and pain during activity and at rest were measured. The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) assessed the patients evaluation of their occupational performance. Both groups had overall good results, but it seems that though patients mobility and grip strength improve considerably, pain seems to do so only relatively. Most patients seem to be satisfied with the operation and their functional gain. Five out of 78 Sutter and two out of 78 NeuFlex implants broke. We found no major differences between the two designs, but the patients in the NeuFlex group seemed to be more satisfied with ...

The bifurcated joint part has a slot-like aperture in which a second joint part is pivoted on a pivot pin. The side walls defining the aperture and the sides of the second joint part are shaped to permit sidewise pivoting of the second joint part to one side transverse to the plane of pivoting of the part about the pivot pin. This allows a gripping movement between a thumb and a finger of a hand in which the joint is used.

Comparison of ultrasonographic assessment of synovitis and joint vascularity with radiographic evaluation in a randomized,...
OBJECTIVE: To investigate sensitive ultrasonographic imaging methods for detection of synovial thickness and vascularity to discriminate between patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) receiving infliximab + methotrexate (MTX) versus placebo + MTX over 18 weeks, and to compare the relationship between synovial thickening and vascularity at baseline and radiologic damage to joints of the hands and feet at 54 weeks. METHODS: Patients with early RA (duration |3 years) receiving stable dosages of MTX were randomly assigned to receive blinded infusions of 5 mg/kg infliximab (n = 12) or placebo (n = 12) at weeks 0, 2, 6, and then every 8 weeks until week 46. At baseline and week 18, clinical assessments were performed, and metacarpophalangeal joints were assessed by high-frequency ultrasonography and power Doppler ultrasonography measurements. Radiographs of the hands and feet taken at baseline and at 54 weeks were evaluated using the van der Heijde modification of the Sharp method (vdH-Sharp score).

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed on the wrist and hand on the side with the most swollen joints (or the right side if swollen joints were equivalent). The 2nd to 5th metacarpophalangeal joints and 3 wrist joints (distal radioulnar, radiocarpal, and intercarpal-carpometacarpal joints) were scored on a scale of 0 = no synovitis to 3 = severe synovitis. MRIs were scored by 2 independent experts blinded to patient data and chronology. The sum score is the average of the 2 reader scores for each of the 7 joints. The range of the sum score is thus 0 = no synovitis in any joint to 21 = severe synovitis in all joints ...

The use of extremity low-field magnetic resonance imaging (E-MRI) is increasing, but relatively few data exist on its reproducibility and accuracy in comparison with high-field MRI, especially for multiple readers. The aim of this multireader exercise of rheumatoid arthritis wrist and metacarpophalangeal joints was to assess the intermachine (high vs low-field) agreement and to assess the interreader agreement on high and low-field images. Study findings suggested that E-MRI performs similarly to conventional high-field MRI regarding assessment of bone erosions. However, for synovitis and bone edema, considerable intermachine and interreader variability was found.

Anti-TNF agents have revolutionised rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment; however, a third of patients fail to achieve therapeutic responses. Unexpectedly, studies in murine and human arthritis have indicated that anti-TNF treatment can increase circulating T helper 17 (Th17) cells, but the relationship to treatment response is unclear. To identify immune correlates of anti-TNF treatment response, we conducted a longitudinal study using clinical, ultrasound and T cell assessments. Patients with RA (n = 25) were studied at protocol visits during the initial 12 weeks of anti-TNF treatment. Improvement in the disease activity score of 28 joints (DAS28) |1.2 defined treatment responders (n = 16) and non-responders (n = 9). Changes in synovial thickening and vascularity of 10 metacarpophalangeal joints were quantitatively assessed by grey scale and power Doppler ultrasound. The frequency of circulating Th17 cells was determined by IL17 enzyme-linked immunospot assay (Elispot) and flow cytometry (fluorescence

Classification of Joints- Online Textbook Chapter - Alyvea.com
A freely mobile joint is classified as a diarthrosis. These types of joints include all synovial joints of the body, which provide the majority of body movements. Most diarthrotic joints are found in the appendicular skeleton and thus give the limbs a wide range of motion. These joints are divided into three categories, based on the number of axes of motion provided by each. An axis in anatomy is described as the movements in reference to the three anatomical planes: transverse, frontal, and sagittal. Thus, diarthroses are classified as uniaxial (for movement in one plane), biaxial (for movement in two planes), or multiaxial joints (for movement in all three anatomical planes).. A uniaxial joint only allows for a motion in a single plane (around a single axis). The elbow joint, which only allows for bending or straightening, is an example of a uniaxial joint. A biaxial joint allows for motions within two planes. An example of a biaxial joint is a metacarpophalangeal joint (knuckle joint) of the ...

DermIS - Hemochromatosis (information on the diagnosis)
WHAT: Haemochromatosis: Haemochromatosis: a disorder of iron metabolism characterized by excess deposition of iron in the tissues, especially the liver. It is characterized by pigmentation of the skin, hepatic cirrhosis, decreased carbohydrate tolerance, cardiomyopathy and endocrinopathy (especially hypogonadism). Mainly seen in men over the age of 40 years. It has an associated arthropathy distinguished by involvement of the metacarpophalangeal joints (particularly the second and third), wrists, knees, shoulders, and hips. There is often an associated chondrocalcinosis. WHY: Haemochromatosis is an autosomal recessive disease that produces an arthritis similar to osteoarthritis or pseudogout. HOW: Haemochromatosis is diagnosed by the typical physical and radiographic findings supported by elevated serum iron concentrations and high transferrin saturations. Serum ferritin is also markedly elevated. Confirmation of the diagnosis can be done by demonstrating hepatic iron deposition on liver biopsy. ...

The radial and ulnar collateral ligaments of the wrist are true ligamentsThe radial and ulnar collateral ligaments of the wrist are true ligaments
PURPOSE. Our hypothesis in this study is that the radial and ulnar collateral ligaments of the wrist exist and are true ligaments which can be visualized by high-resolution ultrasonography (US).. METHODS. High-resolution US examination of the radial and ulnar collateral ligaments of the wrist was performed on 56 fresh cadaveric wrists. The visibility of these ligaments was assessed by four observers who classified the ligaments in consensus as well seen, adequately seen, or not seen. Surgical dissections of 12 radial collateral ligaments and 12 ulnar collateral ligaments were then performed and the ligaments were classified as present or absent. The US and dissection results were then compared. To confirm that the dissected structures represent true ligaments a histologic examination of the ligaments was performed.. RESULTS. All examined radial and ulnar collateral ligaments were seen on the US examination. The radial collateral ligament was seen between the radial styloid and radial aspect of ...

Fetlock - WikipediaFetlock - Wikipedia
Fetlock is the common name for the metacarpophalangeal and metatarsophalangeal joints (MCPJ and MTPJ) of horses, large animals, and sometimes dogs. It is formed by the junction of the third metacarpal (forelimb) or metatarsal (hindlimb) bones (common name: the cannon bones) proximad and the proximal phalanx distad (common name: the pastern bone). Paired proximal sesamoid bones articulate with the palmar or plantar distal surface of the third metacarpal or metatarsal bones and are rigidly fixed to the proximo-palmar/-plantar edge of the proximal phalanx. The fetlock is a hinge joint (ginglymus), allowing flexion and extension, but minimal rotation, adduction, or abduction. While sometimes the fetlock is colloquially referred to as an ankle, even by horse experts, that terminology is not correct. The fetlock is a metacarpophalangeal joint which corresponds to the human upper knuckle, such as that on the ball of the foot. Windpuffs Sesamoiditis Osselet In Thoroughbred race horses, the fetlock is ...

Ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction - WikipediaUlnar collateral ligament reconstruction - Wikipedia
The ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) can become stretched, frayed, or torn through the repetitive stress of the throwing motion. The risk of injury to the throwing athletes UCL is thought to be extremely high as the amount of stress through this structure approaches its ultimate tensile strength during a hard throw.[6]. While many authorities suggest that an individuals style of throwing or the type of pitches they throw are the most important determinant of their likelihood to sustain an injury, the results of a 2002 study suggest that the total number of pitches thrown is the greatest determinant.[7] A 2002 study examined the throwing volume, pitch type, and throwing mechanics of 426 pitchers aged 9 to 14 for one year. Compared to pitchers who threw 200 or fewer pitches in a season, those who threw 201-400, 401-600, 601-800, and 800+ pitches faced an increased risk of 63%, 181%, 234%, and 161% respectively. The types of pitches thrown showed a smaller effect; throwing a slider was associated ...

Physiological and excessive mechanical compression of articular cartilage activates Smad2/3P signalingPhysiological and excessive mechanical compression of articular cartilage activates Smad2/3P signaling
OBJECTIVE: Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) in articular cartilage can signal via two routes, the ALK5/Smad2/3P and the ALK1/Smad1/5/8P route, the first being protective and the latter favoring chondrocyte terminal differentiation. Since biomechanical factors are known to play an essential role in osteoarthritis (OA) initiation and progression, we investigated if excessive mechanical compression can alter TGF-beta signaling in cartilage shifting it from ALK5/Smad2/3P to ALK1/Smad1/5/8P pathway, favoring terminal differentiation of chondrocytes. DESIGN: Articular cartilage explants were harvested from bovine metacarpophalangeal joints. After equilibration, explants were subjected to unconfined dynamic mechanical compression (1 Hz) with 3 MPa (physiological) or 12 MPa (excessive) stress. After different time intervals samples were frozen and mRNA levels of selected genes were examined using real-time polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: In articular cartilage compressed with 3 MPa and ...

Ion channels play important roles in chondrocyte mechanotransduction. The transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) subfamily of ion channels consists of six members. TRPV1-4 are temperature sensitive calcium-permeable, relatively non-selective cation channels whereas TRPV5 and TRPV6 show high selectivity for calcium over other cations. In this study we investigated the effect of time in culture and passage number on the expression of TRPV4, TRPV5 and TRPV6 in articular chondrocytes isolated from equine metacarpophalangeal joints. Polyclonal antibodies raised against TRPV4, TRPV5 and TRPV6 were used to compare the expression of these channels in lysates from first expansion chondrocytes (P0) and cells from passages 1-3 (P1, P2 and P3) by western blotting. TRPV4, TRPV5 and TRPV6 were expressed in all passages examined. Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence confirmed the presence of these channels in sections of formalin fixed articular cartilage and monolayer cultures of methanol fixed ...

Objective- The purpose of present study was to investigate the viability of equine fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLSs) treated with doxycycline. Design- Experimental study. Sample population- FLSs from metacarpophalangeal joints of six skeletally mature horses. Methods- FLSs were established from synovial fluids of healthy joints. The cells were treated with different concentrations (1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 150, 300, 400 µg/ml) or without doxycycline for 48-hour. Viability of FLSs was determined by MTT assay and the Trypan blue dye exclusion method. Results- No significant differences were observed between viability of FLSs cultures treated with doxycycline until 150 µg/ml and control group (P|0.05). Doxycycline at 300 and 400 µg/ml significantly decreased FLSs viability (P|0.05). FLSs viability were 74.28% and 59.07% in 300 and 400 µg/ml, respectively, when measured by the MTT assay. Also FLSs viability at 300 and 400 µg/ml of doxycycline were 68.10% and 43.26%, respectively with Trypan blue exclusion

Etanercept in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis: clinical follow-up over one year by ultrasonography | Read by QxMDEtanercept in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis: clinical follow-up over one year by ultrasonography | Read by QxMD
We evaluated clinically and sonographically the effects of etanercept therapy in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) over 12 months of treatment. Eighteen patients affected by RA who were non-responders or partial responders to disease modifying therapy were commenced on Etanercept treatment. Before starting therapy (T0) and at 12 months (T1), the following parameters were evaluated: erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain, number of painful and swollen joints, health assessment questionnaire (HAQ) and disease activity score in 28 joints (DAS 28). Musculoskeletal ultrasound (US) was performed in the following joints: second and fifth metacarpophalangeal, third interphalangeal, wrist and knee joints and a semiquantitative score (0-3) calculated and used to indicate the presence of a localised inflammatory process (synovitis, tenosynovitis, bursitis) and/or structural damage (bone erosion and cartilaginous change).

Objectives: An important feature of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is hypoxia-driven synovial angiogenesis, but the relationship between change in vascularity, as measured by power Doppler ultrasound (PDUS), and oxygen tensions is unaddressed. Methods: Metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint PDUS was assessed in 23 patients with RA, alongside arthroscopic synovitis and oxygen tension measurements, at baseline and 4 weeks after anti-tumour necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors. Results: Anti-TNF reduced PDUS scores, which were negatively correlated with rise in oxygen tensions. The latter was related to good EULAR response at week 52. Conclusions: Anti-TNF results in rapid reduction in synovial blood flow, with a corresponding rise in oxygen tension most marked in EULAR good responders. ...

Nodules on the Knuckles - Photo Quiz - American Family PhysicianNodules on the Knuckles - Photo Quiz - American Family Physician
A 55-year-old man presented with nonpainful, red masses on his knuckles that had been recurring for years. The lesions generally lasted for one month then resolved spontaneously. He was a mechanic, and job-related trauma exacerbated the condition. He also had arthralgias in several joints, including bilateral hands, hips, and knees. During one episode, he was prescribed an oral steroid that seemed to relieve his symptoms.. Physical examination revealed several erythematous, nontender nodules involving his metacarpophalangeal and proximal interphalangeal joints (Figure 1). The nodules were firm and varied in size. There was no skin erosion, signs of infection, neurologic dysfunction, or decreased range of motion. The patient requested treatment because the nodules were interfering with his work. ...

  • Clinical examination was performed in 68 joints, and we retrieved data on hand function, pain and global disease activity (all using a visual analogue scale (VAS)), morning stiffness and ferritin levels. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The goal of the present study is to theoretically analyze the muscle forces in a thumb in response to the increased joint stiffness. (cdc.gov)
  • The normal joint stiffness was assumed to be 0.05, 0.10, and 0.15 N m/rad for interphalangeal (IP), metacarpophalangeal (MCP), and carpometacarpal (CMC) joint, respectively. (cdc.gov)
  • The joint stiffness was assumed to increase by 50% and 100%, simulating the biomechanical consequences of OA. (cdc.gov)
  • Because the strength of the muscles in the fingers is limited, the muscles will not be able to overcome joint resistance if joint stiffness is increased to its limit due to OA. (cdc.gov)
  • Previous studies indicated that the joint stiffness could increase by more than 100% due to OA in the hand [ 2 ]. (cdc.gov)
  • The increased joint stiffness in turn affects the grip strength [ 3 - 5 ]. (cdc.gov)
  • The biomechanics underlaying the interactions between the muscular loading and joint stiffness variations due to OA has not been investigated. (cdc.gov)
  • The effects of the altered joint stiffness due to pathological conditions, such as OA, on the musculoskeletal loading in a finger has not been analyzed to date. (cdc.gov)
Extensor tendon3
  • Using the previously made marks on either side of the extensor tendon as guides, insert a 22- to 25-gauge needle briskly through the skin into the joint space, directing it toward the center of the joint space to a depth of 0.3-0.5 cm. (medscape.com)
  • In this position, palpate the dorsal aspect of the joint and the extensor tendon. (merckmanuals.com)
  • Apply traction to the relaxed finger, which expands the joint space slightly and makes the joint line visible as skin depressions-the areas for needle insertion-on either side of the extensor tendon. (merckmanuals.com)
Radiographic1
  • To the author's knowledge, no studies have been published investigating the prevalence of radiographic changes in the front feet and metacarpophalangeal joints of endurance racehorses. (up.ac.za)

Horses4
  • Objective -To determine whether iatrogenic hemarthrosis of the metacarpophalangeal joint could be used as a model for temporary reversible joint pain in horses. (avma.org)
  • Conclusions and Clinical Relevance -In horses, iatrogenic hemarthrosis of the metacarpophalangeal joint appears to induce temporary reversible lameness with a mild to moderate degree of synovitis. (avma.org)
  • PURPOSE: To assess comparatively the inflammatory response that follows CO2 or Ringer's lactate joint capsular distension of horses submitted to experimental arthroscopy METHODS: Each animal was submitted to a bilateral tarsocrural arthroscopy employing gas distention in one joint and fluid distention in the contralateral joint. (scielo.br)
  • An experimental study to compare inflammatory response due to liquid or gas joint distension in horses submitted to arthroscopy 1 1 Research performed at Laboratory of Pharmacology, Department of Pathology and Animal Hospital, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Sao Paulo (USP), Brazil. (scielo.br)
Bone2
  • Common surgical options include removing part or all of one of the trapezium bone (the wrist bone immediately below your thumb joint), tendon transfer, or joint fusion. (modernorthonj.com)
  • Bone & joint open 2021 12 2 (12): 1062-1066. (cdc.gov)
Ligaments1
Glenohumeral joint1
  • 5 The thickened joint capsule is closely applied and adherent to the humeral head, resulting in considerable reduction in the volume of the glenohumeral joint (fig 1). (bmj.com)
Sternoclavicular joint2
  • Halsted's ligament 2 ) is the major stabilizing factor of the sternoclavicular joint and is the axis of movement of the joint. (radiopaedia.org)
  • 8. The sternoclavicular joint is a type of __________ joint. (doctor29.com)
Cartilage2
  • The surfaces of the bones where they meet to form joints are covered with a layer of cartilage, which allows them to glide smoothly against one another as they move. (jnjmedtech.com)
  • 1. Which cartilage is present at the joints of long bones? (doctor29.com)
Wrist joint1
Disability2
  • The condition, if left untreated, may result in considerable MCP joint pain, loss of motion and disability. (precisionsurgerycenter.org)
  • It leads to irreversible joint damage, disability and even premature mortality [1-3]. (who.int)
Symptoms1
  • Most symptoms resolve after a few weeks, but joint pain and fatigue can persist for six months or more. (cdc.gov)
Motion1
  • The joints were prescribed to an angular motion at one degree-of-freedom (DOF) each time with all other DOFs of the joints being mechanically constrained, while the muscle forces in response to the joint motions were predicted. (cdc.gov)
Ligament1
  • A thumb sprain (sometimes called skier's thumb or gamekeeper's thumb) happens when a ligament (tissue that connects bones at a joint) in your thumb stretches too much or tears. (royalsreview.com)
Bones3
  • The metacarpophalangeal joint or MP joint, also known as the first knuckle, is the large joint in the hand where the finger bones meet the hand bones. (precisionsurgerycenter.org)
  • This surgery uses a plate and screws to keep the bones of your joint together. (modernorthonj.com)
  • Joints are formed wherever two or more of these bones meet. (jnjmedtech.com)
Pain8
  • These can slow or stop joint damage and reduce pain and swelling. (fpnotebook.com)
  • Words - " Pain here " and " Here too " - were anchored by lines drawn to the hand, portraying metacarpophalangeal and proximal interphalangeal pain. (bmj.com)
  • Try to bend all of your joints as much as possible without causing yourself any pain. (livestrong.com)
  • Treatment of HH-A is challenging because regular phlebotomies do not lead to improvement in joint pain. (biomedcentral.com)
  • These drugs reduce pain and swelling in affected joints. (modernorthonj.com)
  • Regular rest periods can help relieve pain and inflammation in your joints. (modernorthonj.com)
  • You'll have a more stable, pain-free joint, but will have limited flexibility and movement. (modernorthonj.com)
  • 24. What is the medical terminology for the pain in joints called? (doctor29.com)
Tendon transfer1
Injection2
  • If therapeutic injection into the joint is planned or additional fluid aspiration is needed, do not remove the needle from the joint space. (medscape.com)
  • Procedure -Each horse was evaluated on a treadmill before and after injection of 1 metacarpophalangeal joint with 10 mL of autogenous blood. (avma.org)
Clinical2
  • It also includes clinical images of the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints. (sonosite.com)
  • The degree of joint instability on clinical examination allows classification of these injuries and guides management. (qxmd.com)
