Subperiosteal Transmission Of Intra-Articular Pressure Between Articulated And Stationary Joints

摘要: Hydrostatic pressures can be transmitted between synovial capsules. In each of ten rabbits, we simultaneously measured pressure in two joints, one which was passively ranged, and the other kept stationary. The intra-articular inside stationary joint changed every time its companion ranged. But did not change when periosteum transected above ranged joint. This phenomenon observed all four animals that served as their own controls. study suggests through space bone surface. Alternative explanations, like measurements venous blood pressure, show correlation with hydrostatic changes joints. Floating Skeleton concept a biomechanical rationale for this newly phenomenon: there exists subperiosteal connection “net” distributes excess among joints periosteal sheath to sustain integrity contacting surfaces over lifetime.
