| rheumatoid arthritis: joint manifestations | <radiology> Early signs: fusiform periarticular soft tissue swelling (result of effusion), regional osteoporosis (disuse and local hyperaemia), widened joint space, marginal and central bone erosion (base of 4th proximal phalanx most common), change in ulnar styloid and distal radioulnar joint, atlantoaxial dislocation, giant synovial cysts late signs: flexion/extension contractures with ulnar subluxation/dislocation, destruction/fusion of joints, elevation of humeral heads (tear/atrophy of rotator cuff), resorption of distal clavicle, erosion of superior margins of posterior portions of 3-5th ribs, destruction/narrowing of disc spaces, destruction of zygapophyseal joints without osteophyte formation, resorption of spinous process, protrusio acetabuli (from osteoporosis) (12 Dec 1998) |

| Chopart's joint | The synovial joints between the talus and navicular bone medially and the calcaneus and navicular bones laterally which act as a unit in allowing the front of the foot to pivot relative to the back of the foot about the longitudinal axis of the foot, contributing to the total inversion and eversion movements. Synonym: articulatio tarsi transversa, Chopart's joint, midtarsal joint, transverse tarsal articulation. (05 Mar 2000) |

Synonym: articulatio trochoidea, helicoid ginglymus, lateral ginglymus, rotary joint, rotatory joint, trochoid articulation, trochoid joint. (05 Mar 2000) |
| round ligament of elbow joint | A slender band extending from the lateral part of the coronoid process of the ulna distad and laterad to the radius immediately distal to the bicipital tuberosity.

| midcarpal joint | The synovial joint between the proximal and distal rows of carpal bones. Synonym: articulatio mediocarpea, middle carpal joint. (05 Mar 2000) |
| midtarsal joint | The synovial joints between the talus and navicular bone medially and the calcaneus and navicular bones laterally which act as a unit in allowing the front of the foot to pivot relative to the back of the foot about the longitudinal axis of the foot, contributing to the total inversion and eversion movements.

| wedge-and-groove joint | A form of fibrous joint in which the sharp edge of one bone is received in a cleft in the edge of the other, as in the articulation of the vomer with the rostrum of the sphenoid. Synonym: schindylesis, schindyletic joint, wedge-and-groove suture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pisotriquetral joint | The synovial joint between the pisiform and triquetrum; it is separate from the other intercarpal joints. Synonym: articulatio ossis pisiformis, articulation of pisiform bone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pivot joint | A synovial joint in which a section of a cylinder of one bone fits into a corresponding cavity on the other, as in the proximal radioulnar joint.
