Fluid Dynamics and Stress in Synovial Joints with Special Reference to the Immature Hip

摘要: Synovial joints as a class include the majority of important in body. These articulations respond to physiological and pathological factors elsewhere body may themselves influence surrounding adjacent structures such ligaments, bones, physes articular cartilage. This chapter reviews present state knowledge synovial fluid production resorption, effects simulated effusion on soft hard tissues inflammatory response synovium with respect subsequent changes intraarticular pressures. Particular emphasis will be placed studies concerning hip joint interpretation induced effusions without synovitis capsule immature bony capital femoral epiphysis.
