What is the ligament called found outside a joint capsule?
The accessory ligament is the ligament found outside a joint capsule.
What is the purpose of an arthogram?
This kind of medical procedure allows inspection of the soft tissues of the joint, including muscles, ligaments, cartilage, tendons, and the joint capsule, none of which would be visible through a regular x-ray. It can be a diagnostic and therapeutic.
Which type of articulation has a joint capsule?
synovial
How do you examine a joint?
In examining a joint, the first thing is a visual exam. The joint is palpated (touched), moved, checked for heat, redness and discomfort (look - feel - move). From this examination, further studies may be indicated. MRI to look for joint erosion. Arthroscopy - a mildly invasive procedure to insert cannulas and visually see the inside of the joint capsule. Arthrocentesis - mildly invasive to withdraw fluid from around the joint.
What is the outermost part of a synovial joint?
A typical synovial joint has a joint capsule, a synovial membrane, synovial fluid, a joint cavity, and articular cartilage. A joint capsule surrounds the joint, supporting and stabilizing it. The synovial membrane is within the joint capsule. This membrane closely surrounds the joint and forms a joint cavity. The synovial membrane secretes synovial fluid that lubricates the articular surfaces of the joint. In some joints, the synovial membrane extends outside the joint capsule to form a bursa. The bursa cushions the joint. Bursae are in the knee, elbow, shoulder, and hip. Articular cartilage covers the articular surfaces of synovial joints to prevent excess wear and tear as they move against each other.
What is the medical term meaning artificial joint?
A joint prosthesis is an artificial joint.
What is knee revision surgery?
also known as revision total knee arthroplasty , is a procedure in which the surgeon removes a previously implanted artificial knee joint, or prosthesis, and replaces it with a new prosthesis.
A joint capsule is reinforced by tendons binding articular ends of bones together?
Ligaments are used to bind the articular ends of bones together reinforcing the joint capsule. These can be thickenings in the fibrous layer of the joint capsule or accessory structures that are located outside of the joint capsule.
What is the medical term meaning surgical puncture of a joint?
Arthrocentesis is the surgical puncture of a joint space to remove synovial fluid.Basically put a needle in the joint, and then aspirate the fluid. This is usually a diagnostic and not a therapeutic procedure. The fluid is then sent for investigation. It can be a therapeutic procedure, though it won't cure, but it may relieve pain (for example with arthritis).As infection in a joint is to be avoided at all costs, this should be done under the most aseptic circumstances possible.arthrocentesisArthrocentesis (arthr = joint + centesis = puncture) is procedure where a syringe is used to collect synovial fluid from the joint capsule for examination. It is also known as joint aspiration. The procedure is used to diagnose gout, arthritis and synovial infections.Arthrocentesis (arthr = joint + centesis = puncture) is procedure where a syringe is used to collect synovial fluid from the joint capsule for examination.

Bones of a synovial joint are held together by?
joint capsule
What reinforces the fibrous capsule helping to prevent dislocation of the joint?
The two layers that make up the fibrous capsule is what reinforces the capsule. The stratum fibrosum and the stratum synovial are what prevents the joint from dislocating.
Can the joint capsule be pierced?
Not for the sake of body piercing, only in the event of surgical procedures should the joint capsule be pierced, then it is balanced with saline solution to prevent damage to the joint. The capsule contains fluid that allows the joint to move freely without friction damage by direct contact of the ball and socket. Piercing that capsule will damage the joint an repair will be difficult if not impossible once damage is done.

What kind of tissue damage can you find in joint dislocation?
Repeat dislocations of the same joint are common because the initial dislocation stretches the joint capsule and ligaments, resulting in loose capsule which provides poor support of the joint.
