Synovial joint anatomy

Synovial joints let us move our bones around easily. There are a few structures in there that make a synovial joint special (synovial capsule, synovial fluid and articular cartilage), so let's look at this anatomy and see how it all works. Then we can talk about osteoarthritis.

Thank you Dr Webster, I just found your YT and subbed to it. I was just told I need a knee replacement and wanted to learn a bit more. Bone on bone really sucks, it's painful ! ! I got the cortisone shot, but that would last for long. Dang, wish it would, I so don't want a replacement knee. Thanks again for all your videos and I love your humor.

Hi Dr Sam, I've enjoyed watching your videos. I'm not from a medical background but as I suffer from rheumatoid arthritis in all my joints and osteoarthritis in both knees, it's helpful for me to try and understand my anatomy. My question is... both my knees tend to balloon up, why is this? I've stated going for walks more and doing quad and calf exercises which help but why does the synovial fluid do that??? Thanks in advance 🤗🏃🏿‍♀️

I hear some people say jogging may hurt joints as bones inside joints rubs against each other. I am a fun of jogging and have been jogging since childhood. I am curious about the joint anatomy. Your lecture on joint anatomy is awesome! Thank you!
