What is a periarticular joint?
The word periarticular means “area surrounding the joint.” The most common joint fractures occur in the legs such as the tibia (shin bone), distal femur (thigh bone) and ankle or in the arms such as the elbow or wrist. A periarticular fracture is a medical emergency. Call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room.
What is the function of the ligaments muscles tendons attached to the bone?
Our bones, muscles and joints work together in a coordinated way to move our body and give it stability. Tendons and ligaments play an important role here, too: Tendons connect muscles to bones, allowing us to move, and ligaments help to hold things in place.
What are periarticular muscles?
The periarticular structures consist of bundles of parallel collagen fibers that run round the entire circumference of the cavity. The labrum, glenohumeral ligaments, and inserting tendons form a basket of fibers around the neck of the scapula, which constitutes a functional unit: the periarticular fiber system (PAFS).
What is a periarticular fracture?
An articular or periarticular fracture happens when a bone breaks inside or around a joint. These injuries often damage cartilage at the ends of bones (articular cartilage) and other joint tissues, requiring special care.
Which tissue connects muscle to bone?
tendon
Tough, fibrous, cord-like tissue that connects muscle to bone or another structure, such as an eyeball. Tendons help the bone or structure to move.
What are the 3 types of ligaments?
Types of articulation ligaments There are three types of the articulation ligaments: capsular, extracapsular and intracapsular. They differ by their location within a joint.
What is the biggest ligament?
The iliofemoral ligament is a ligament of the hip joint which extends from the ilium to the femur in front of the joint.
What is the difference between muscles and tendons?
Tendons are the soft tissue that connects our muscles to the bone allowing them to be a pully and subsequently produce movement. Tendons differ from muscles because they are mainly made up of collagen and elastin; this means they cannot contract themselves, but they are incredibly strong and stiff.

What is periarticular osteoporosis?
Background: Periarticular osteoporosis is an early finding in the hands of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), due to release of bone resorbing cytokines from the inflamed synovium. There has been disagreement as to whether periarticular bone loss occurs in psoriatic arthritis (PsA).
Which tissue connects skin to muscle?
Your hypodermis is the bottom layer of skin in your body. It has many functions, including insulating your body, protecting your body from harm, storing energy and connecting your skin to your muscles and bones.

What are the 5 ligaments of the spine?
There are five main ligamentous structures seen throughout the spinal column:
- Anterior Longitudinal Ligament (ALL)
- Posterior Longitudinal Ligament (PLL)
- Ligamentum Flavum.
- Interspinous ligaments.
- Supraspinous ligament[1]
