Question
Chapter 9, Problem 1CRCAQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
1. The movements allowed at ankle joints.
2. The definition of reduction of a joint.
3. The need for repairing the ligaments surgically.
4. The minimization of the recovery time by using the arthroscopic surgery.
Introduction:
Ankle joint is a hinge-like synovial joint. It connects the inferior ends of tibia and fibula with the talus bone of a foot. It is reinforced by the thick medial and lateral ligaments. Tibiofibular ligaments join the tibia and fibula together and this results in the formation of a bracket shaped socket.

What type of joint is the distal radioulnar joint?
Mrs. Estevez, who is 37 years old, visited her physician and complained of unbearable pain in several joints of both hands. The joints were very red, swollen, and warm to the touch. When asked if she had ever had such an episode in the past, she said she had had a similar attack 2 years earlier that had disappeared as suddenly as it had come. Her diagnosis was arthritis. (a) What type of arthritis does she have? (b) What is the cause of joint inflammation in this type of arthritis?
A) Identify the type of synovial joint seen here which allows only the movement of
flexion and extension. [type means ball and socket, hinge, pivot etc]
B)Give one example of this type of joint.

First, though, he wanted her to "pre-hab"-that is, take physical therapy for several weeks-in order to have the knee and leg in the best possible shape before the surgery. She was also instructed to use a more substantial brace. Dr. Leutz described the procedure: either a cadaver tendon OR the middle third of her patellar tendon would be removed and used to replace the ACL, which would be removed. Elaine opted to use her own tendon. Five weeks later, Elaine went in for surgery. She was given a drug used for conscious sedation as well as a general anesthetic. Through the arthroscope the surgeon noted significant injury to both the medial and lateral menisci, which he repaired with sutures and screws. The pieces of the torn ACL were removed. A superficial incision was made in the midline…arrow_forward
