Biomechanics of the Temporomandibular Joint
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects the mandible or the lower jaw to the skull and regulates the movement of the jaw (see Figure 1). The TMJ is one of the most complex, delicate and highly used joints in a human body (Alomar et al., 2007). The most important functions of the TMJ are mastication and speech. Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a generic term used for any problem concerning the...
متن کاملBiomechanics of the distal radioulnar joint.
The distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) is a complex joint involved in pronosupination and ulnocarpal motion and support. The ulnar head, in a rolling, sliding motion, moves from the dorsal to the volar rim of the sigmoid notch as the joint moves from pronation to supination. The triangular fibrocartilage (TFC) is taut first dorsally and then volarly in the same sequence. The ulnar carpus is support...
متن کامل[Biomechanics of the ankle joint--injury mechanisms].
The complex mechanics of the ankle joint complex depends highly on the integrity of the ankle ligaments. An incomplete restoration of the antero-fibular ligament after trauma may result in a mechanical dissociation of the talus from the ankle mortise. The force that is needed to induce a non-physiological movement of the foot is determined by the individual configuration of the bony and articul...
متن کاملAnatomy and biomechanics of the elbow joint.
The elbow joint is a complex structure that provides an important function as the mechanical link in the upper extremity between the hand, wrist and the shoulder. The elbow's functions include positioning the hand in space for fine movements, powerful grasping and serving as a fulcrum for the forearm. Loss of elbow function can severely affect activities of daily living. It is important to reco...
متن کاملRecurrent Dislocation of the Proximal Interphalangeal Joint of the Finger: A Rare Issue in Hand Surgery
Recurrent dislocation is not common in small joints. This report presents a new case of chronic recurrent dislocation of proximal interphalangeal joint of the finger in which soft tissue injuries have a role in the dislocation. The patient was a 23 years old man who had referred to our center because of recurrent dislocation of proximal interphalangeal joint of his right ring finger during spor...
