Symphyses
Laparoscopic
Approach to Inguinal Disruption in Athletes: a Retrospective 13-Year Analysis of 198 Patients in a Single-Surgeon Setting. Scheme of the musculotendinous and aponeurotic attachments of the anterior pubis. Ellipse—prepubic aponeurotic complex (P-PAC); a—rectus abdominis, b—gracilis, c—adductor longus, d—adductor brevis. The arrows schematize the shearing forces with P-PAC as fulcrum
Symphyses (singular: symphysis) are secondary cartilaginous joints composed of fibrocartilage (and hence also known as fibrocartilaginous joints). They are considered amphiarthroses, meaning that they allow only slight movement and are all found at the skeletal midline.
Examples
- symphysis pubis between the pubic bones medially
- manubriosternal joint between the sternal body and the manubrium
- xiphisternal joint: in most, becomes a synostosis by the fifth decade
- symphysis intervertebralis: comprises the anterior and posterior longitudinal ligaments and the intervertebral discs
- sacrococcygeal symphysis
- symphysis mandibulae (a.k.a. symphysis mentalis): midline joint between the half bodies of the hemimandibles
