false joint

Some of these fractures produced false joints because they didn't heal well.

There are two divisions of joints, diarthroses which allow extensive mobility between two or more articular heads, and false joints or synarthroses, joints that are immovable, that allow little or no movement and are predominantly fibrous.

The authors of the genus list them as "midcaudal vertebrae fusions, healed fractures of mid-caudal vertebra transverse processes; osteophytes affecting pedal phalanges, healed gastralia rib fractures, some forming false joints... [and] scapula fracture."

In "R.A.G.U.," a short but dense collaboration with his fellow Clan member Raekwon, the story ends, literally, with a punch line: "I couldn't take it, yo, Lord, I knocked out his teeth/ Now he's rocking those false joints like everything's peace."

Because of a setback building next door, the new facade of 185 is fully detailed along part of its eastern lot line, and Mr. Barricklo has gone to the trouble to locate the false joints of the new stucco work over the actual joints of the underlying brownstone, to reduce cracking.

The holotype of Neovenator salerii had many pathologies, including; a fractured scapula, bone spurs in its toes, vertebral fusions near the middle of the tail, healed fractures of vertebral transverse processes in the same region, and healed gastralia fractures (some of which formed false joints).
