The articular surfaces were notably different in size and form.

I studied the internal structure of the head, just below the articular surface.

If the articular surface is wide the metacarpal may be shaved.

They are covered above by the superior articular surfaces.

Sometimes both articular surfaces are virtually equal in size.

Now approach the subtalar joint and completely remove its articular surfaces.

Most commonly the medial articular surface is smaller than the lateral.

Displacement of the articular surface is the most important factor affecting prognosis and treatment.

The articular surface of the tibia is referred to as the plafond.

The third metatarsal has just developed ginglymoid inferior articular surface.

The articular surfaces are connected together by the following ligaments:

By changing the shapes of the articular surfaces, knee replacement is being simulated.

Four main types of articular surface can be distinguished:

It is nearly circular and covers a larger portion of the articular surface than the medial.

A facet refers to a small, flattened articular surface.

Dorsolaterally there is an articular surface for the capitulum of the rib.

The inferior articular surfaces have the same direction as those of the other cervical vertebrae.

In younger patients the injury requires greater force and results in more displacement particularly to the articular surface.

The articular surfaces of both condyles are concave, particularly centrally.

Free fragments should be replaced when possible if they involve a portion of the weight-bearing articular surface.

The articular surface of the acetabulum is not exposed, which is a disadvantage.

The articulation of the hand and wrist considered as a whole involves four articular surfaces:

The posterior calcaneal articular surface is large and of an oval or oblong form.

The orientation of the shoulder's articular surface also indicates a vertical and not horizontal upper arm in dinosaurs.

There seems to be a small articular surface near the anterior extremity which suggests the presence of a supracleithrum.
