Nivelpinnat
Nivelpinnat are the articular surfaces of bones that participate in synovial joints. They are typically located at the ends of bones or within sockets where bones meet. These surfaces are covered by articular cartilage and interact within a joint capsule and synovial fluid, which together enable smooth movement and load distribution.
The shapes and details of nivelpinnat vary to suit joint function. Planar surfaces allow gliding movements,
Functionally, nivelpinnat bear weight, distribute compressive and shear forces, and facilitate a range of motions. Articular
Clinical relevance is tied to the integrity of nivelpinnat. Damage such as chondral injuries or degenerative
