| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Dislocation | displacement of a bone from its normal location in a joint |
| Fixation | the application of pins, wires, screws, and so on to immobilize; these can be placed externally or internally |
| Skeletal traction | application of force to a limb with the used of a pin, screw, wire, or clamp attached to the bone |
| Soft tissue | tissues (fascia, connective tissue, muscle, etc..)surrounding organs and other structures |
| Arthroplasty | reshaping or reconstructing a joint |
| What is a uniplane fixation device? | Device that has 2 or more pins inserted above a fracture & 2 or more pins below a fracture on only 1 surface & is used to stabilize the fracture |
| What 2 words describe when elastic wrap or take is fastened to the skin or wrapped around a limb and weights are then attached to the wraps or tape? | Skin traction |
| inversion | Turning the sole of the foot inward |
| plantar flexion | bends the foot downward at the ankle |
| Flexion | Decreases the angle of a joint (bending) |
| hyperextension | excessive extension of a limb |
| ligament | band of fibrous tissues that connect cartilage or bone and supports a joint |
| tenorrhaphy | together tow parts of tendon |
| traction | application of force to limb |
| nonsegmental | instrumentation is application of fixative device at each end of area being repaired |
| Revisions | are terms that reflectd the tchnologic advances made in medicine and are incorpated into the CPT manual |

| Open treatment | fracture site that is surgically opened and vusualized |
| Percutaneous | reshaping or reconstructing a jiont |
| Fracture | break in a bone |
| Manipulation | word used interchangeably with reduction to mean the attempted restoration of a fracture or joint dislocation to its normal anatomic position |
| Arthrodesis | surgical immobilization of a joint |
| Would a biopsy code usually include the administration of any necessary local anesthesia? | yes |

| What is the primary difference between the excision codes found in the musculoskeletal system subsection and the excision codes found in the integumentary system subsection? | The Primary difference is extent. The codes in the Musculoskeletal are of biopsies of deep subcutaneous tissue, musclet and/or bone.Integumentary applies to skin & subcutaneous tissue. |
