Амфиартроз (Amphiarthrosis)

Amphiarthrosis is one of three types of joints that are classified according to their degree of mobility. Unlike diarthrosis (free-type joints) and synarthrosis (immobile joints), amphiarthrosis are inactive joints of bones, where their surfaces are separated from each other by cartilage.

Amphiarthrosis can contain two types of cartilage - hyaline and fibrous. Hyaline cartilage is smoother and more elastic, usually present in joints that experience less stress, such as the costal joints. Fibrous cartilage is stiffer and stronger, so it is used in joints that experience heavy loads, such as between vertebrae.

Symphysis and synchondrosis are examples of amphiarthrosis. The symphysis is a connection between two bones, which is formed by the fusion of hyaline cartilages, and between them there is a small gap. This type of joint is present, for example, in the area of ​​the pubic bone in humans. Synchondrosis is a connection of bones where fibrous cartilage is located between them. An example of synchondrosis is the connection of the ribs and sternum in humans.

Amphiarthroses perform important functions in the body. They provide rigidity and strength to bones, protect them from damage, and also allow some degree of movement, which is especially important for those joints found in the chest and spine.

In conclusion, it can be noted that amphiarthrosis plays an important role in maintaining the health and functionality of the skeleton. They provide rigidity and strength to the bones and a small degree of movement, allowing for a variety of movements and providing protection from injury.

Amphiarthroses are inactive bone joints in which their surfaces are separated by cartilage. There is a small gap in the cartilage that allows the bones to move relative to each other. Amphiarthrosis is a common disease of the musculoskeletal system and can lead to various complications such as pain, limited mobility and bone deformation.

Amphiarthrosis can be various bone connections, such as the symphysis of the pubic bones, intervertebral discs, and the synovial membrane connecting the bones of the skull.

The pubic symphysis is one of the most common amphiarthrosis. It connects the pubic bones and provides mobility to the hip joint. With symphysis pubis, the cartilage between the bones can break down, leading to pain, limited mobility, and deformation of the bones.

The intervertebral disc is an amphiartosis that connects the vertebrae and provides flexibility to the spine. When it is destroyed, back pain and limited mobility may occur.

Synchondrosis is a connection between bones using hyaline cartilage. Synchondrosis can occur with bone fractures when the cartilage is not restored. They can cause pain and limited mobility at the junction.

Treatment for amphiarthrosis depends on its cause and severity. In some cases, surgery may be required to repair the cartilage or replace it with another material. In other cases, conservative treatment methods, such as physiotherapy, massage, and therapeutic exercises, can be used.

It is important to remember that amphiarthosis can be caused by various factors, such as injury, poor diet, excess weight and others. Therefore, to prevent diseases of the musculoskeletal system, it is necessary to monitor your health, eat right, exercise and avoid injuries.

Amphiartosis (amphiosinosis, amphorion, “two bones”, from the Greek αμφί-: αμβίεσθαι – “on both sides” + αρθρω, αρθρόω [artʰrōn], αρτροτομή) is a congenital abnormal connection of bones [1]. As the luminary of reconstructive surgery, professor at the Institute of Human Surgery at the Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education in St. Petersburg, Mikhail Vasilievich Voynov writes, it is a low-moving joint, usually in the area of ​​the heel bone [2].

There are two types of Amphiartosis: Articular and Pseudoarticular. These types differ not only in their anatomical and clinical picture, but also in their treatment strategy. The articular amphoid is distinguished by the absence of load on the distal parts where the condyles converge [3]. The difference between such a joint is only in the shape of the gap, which can be of various shapes. If we talk about the pseudo-Bali connection, then here we already observe the presence of a wedge-shaped
