  • Title: [Intra-articular pressure in the large joints--a biomechanical variable pressure pump system].
    Author: Machan FG, Trägenapp E.
    Journal: Beitr Orthop Traumatol; 1989 Jun; 36(6):241-8. PubMed ID: 2764866.
    Abstract:
    Because of the anatomy and biomechanics intraarticular pressure modifications are caused by loading and movement of a joint. These continuous pressure alterations are examined in the hip joint of cadavers and in the shoulder-joint of cadavers and volunteers. The clinical importance is shown. The hereto hardly know changes of intraaticular pressure cause a strong synoviamovement and serve the provisioning of the joint-cartilage with the help of the changing, pressure pump-system.
