File Joint.png 400px thumb Right Typical Joint A Synovial joint , also known as a diarthrosis , is the most common and most movable type of joint in the body of a mammal.

Structural and functional differences distinguish synovial joints from cartilaginous joint s synchondroses and symphyses and fibrous joint s Suture anatomy sutures , gomphoses , and syndesmoses . The main structural differences between synovial and fibrous joints are the existence of capsules surrounding the articulating surfaces of a synovial joint and the presence of lubricating synovial fluid within those capsules synovial cavities .

It provides a cushion between bones and tendons and or muscles around a joint. This helps to reduce friction between the bones and allows free movement. Bursae are filled with synovial fluid and are found around most major joints of the body. Etymology Bursa is Latin for purse, due to its resemblance to a purse. There are different types of bursa. Bursae is its plural form. Types There are four types of Bursa namely adventitious, subcutaneous, synovial , and Sub muscular. Among these, only Adventitious is non native. When any surface of the body is subjected to repeated stress, an adventitious bursa develops under it. Example Students elbow, bunion. Pathology Infection or irritation of a bursa leads to bursitis inflammation of a bursa . The general term for disease of bursae is bursopathy .

There are 3 defined stages to this disease early no loose bodies but active synovial disease transitional active synovial disease, and loose bodies late loose bodies but no synovial disease In the early stages of the disease it is often confused with tendinitis and or arthritis . Once it reaches transitional the loose bodies become apparent with X ray in greater than 70 of cases, with MRI often showing where xray fails. In the disease, the thin flexible membrane of the synovium gradually forms blisters which calcify and enlarge. These nodules eventually break free and float around the joint space becoming larger these add to the discomfort and stiffness of the joint. The disease is rare and little known and currently no known cure. The affected tissue will show up as a semi solid mass in a MRI scan, final diagnosis is usually confirmed by taking a biopsy . Traditional medical journals conclude that individuals suffering from this disease are nearly always male, and usually in their forties.
