| range of motion, articular | Range through which a joint can be extended and flexed. This is frequently assessed following surgery of the joint. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| retinaculum of articular capsule of hip | One of several longitudinal folds of the articular capsule of the hip joint reflected onto the femoral neck deep to which the retinacular branches of the medial femoral circumflex artery pass to reach the femoral head. Synonym: retinaculum capsulae articularis coxae, Weitbrecht's fibres. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cricoarytenoid articular capsule | The capsule enclosing the joint between the arytenoid and cricoid cartilages. Synonym: capsula articularis cricoarytenoidea. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cricothyroid articular capsule | The capsule enclosing the cricothyroid joint. Synonym: capsula articularis cricothyroidea. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sternoclavicular articular disk | The fibrocartilaginous disk that subdivides the sternoclavicular joint into two cavities. Synonym: discus articularis sternoclavicularis, sternoclavicular disk, sternoclavicular articular disk. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior articular facet of atlas | One of two concave articular surfaces on the superior aspect of the lateral masses of the atlas that articulate with the occipital condyles. Synonym: facies articularis superior atlantis, fovea articularis superior atlantis, superior articular pit of atlas. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior articular pit of atlas | One of two concave articular surfaces on the superior aspect of the lateral masses of the atlas that articulate with the occipital condyles. Synonym: facies articularis superior atlantis, fovea articularis superior atlantis, superior articular pit of atlas. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior articular process of sacrum | The large process on each side of the sacrum posteriorly that articulates with the corresponding inferior articular process of the fifth lumbar vertebra. Synonym: processus articularis superior ossis sacri. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dislocation of articular processes | Complete dislocation of one or both articular processes, usually with overriding of the inferior articular process of the vertebra above into a position anterior to the superior articular process of the vertebra below. Synonym: locked facets. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior articular facet of atlas | One of two concave surfaces on the lateral masses of the atlas that articulate with corresponding surfaces on the axis. Synonym: facies articularis inferior atlantis, fovea articularis inferior atlantis, inferior articular pit of atlas. (05 Mar 2000) |
