The functioning of the joint depends on the “frictionless” interaction of the components involved (cartilage layers, synovium, synovial fluid, subcortical bone, adjacent bone marrow, ligaments, muscles, menisci. This functional unit, joint-bones-synovia-muscles, can be affected by different factors (traumatic, degenerative, infection, autoimmunological, neurogenic and metabolic).
