A joint is formed when the ends of two or more bones touch. The body features a variety of unique types of joints. The knee is an example of a "hinge" joint because of its ability to bend and straighten like a hinged door. The hip and shoulder are "ball-and-socket" joints, where the rounded end of one bone fits into the cup-shaped part of the other bone.Joint discomfort and disability caused by a variety of diseases can lead patients to consider undergoing surgery to replace their joints. Damage to the articular cartilage, which lines the ends of the bones and may be caused by fractures, arthritis, or other disorders, is a common cause of joint discomfort.
