Q

Factors that Stabilize Joints (6)

A

1) Joint Capsule
2) Accessory, Extracapsular, or Intracapsular Ligaments
3) Shapes of Articulating Surfaces
4) Other bones
5) Skeletal Muscles
6) Other “Soft Parts” (fat pads, bursae, articular discs/menisci, fibrocartilage pads/rings)

17
Q

What are the 4 Accessory Structures

A

1) Menisci/Articulating Discs
2) Labrum
3) Bursae
4) Tendon Sheaths

18
Q

What are Menisci/Articulating Discs

A

Fibrocartilage pads that absorb shock, improve fit between articulating surfaces, and distribute synovial fluid

19
Q

What is a Labrum

A

Fibrocartilaginous Lip that extends from edge of joint to deepen socket and increase area of contact

20
Q

What are Bursae

A

Sac-like structures filled with fluid that reduce friction

21
Q

What are Tendon Sheaths

A

Tube-like bursae that wrap around certain tendons
