  2. Synovial fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synovial_fluid

    Synovial fluid, also called synovia, is a viscous, non-Newtonian fluid found in the cavities of synovial joints. With its egg white –like consistency, [ 1 ] the principal role of synovial fluid is to reduce friction between the articular cartilage of synovial joints during movement. [ 2 ]

  3. Knee effusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knee_effusion

    Knee effusion, informally known as water on the knee, occurs when excess synovial fluid accumulates in or around the knee joint. It has many common causes, including arthritis , injury to the ligaments or meniscus , or fluid collecting in the bursa , a condition known as prepatellar bursitis .

  6. Knee bursae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knee_bursae

    The knee bursae are the fluid-filled sacs and synovial pockets that surround and sometimes communicate with the knee joint cavity. The bursae are thin-walled, and filled with synovial fluid . They represent the weak point of the joint, but also provide enlargements to the joint space. [ 1 ]

  7. Arthrocentesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthrocentesis

    Patients with a fever, suspected flare of existing arthritis, or unknown cause of joint effusion should undergo arthrocentesis with synovial fluid analysis. Samples of synovial fluid can be analyzed for gross appearance, presence of crystals, white blood cell count with differential, red blood cell count, and bacterial culture. Normal synovial ...

  8. Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition disease

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_pyrophosphate_di...

    Arthrocentesis, or removing synovial fluid from the affected joint, is performed to test the synovial fluid for the calcium pyrophosphate crystals that are present in CPPD. When stained with H&E stain , calcium pyrophosphate crystals appears deeply blue (" basophilic ").

  9. Joint cracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_cracking

    Synovial fluid cavitation has some evidence to support it. [9] When a spinal manipulation is performed, the applied force separates the articular surfaces of a fully encapsulated synovial joint, which in turn creates a reduction in pressure within the joint cavity.
