| Endoscopic examination of the interior of a joint | Arthroscopy |
| Postauricular (behind the ear) ecchymosis. It may indicate a fracture of a bone of the lower skull | Battle's sign |
| X-ray examination of bone after injection of radioactive material, to identify areas of injury disease or regeneration | Bone Scan |
| Use of low-dose x-radiation of two different energies to measure bone mineral content at different anatomic sites | Dual X-Ray absorptiometry (DEXA) |
| a graphic record of the electrical activity of muscle both at rest & during contraction | Electromyogram |
| the rate of settling of rbc in anticoagulated blood.increased rates are often associated with anemia or inflammatory states | Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) |
| acaliabrated device used to measure the arc or range of motion of a joint | Goniometer |
| Joint movement(active,passive,or a combination) carried out to assess. preserve or increase the arc of joint motion | Range Of Motion |
| ionizing radiation passed through tissue to visualize bones | Radiography |
| Calciun salts are responsible for radiopacity of bone, calcified cartilage and arteriocelerotic plaques in arteries | Serum Calcium |
| White crystals, poorly soluble contained in solution in the urine of mammals, sometimes in small masses as cryalswith dosium and other bases it forms urates which deposit in connective tissues and articular cartilage, elevated levels associated with gout | Serum Uric Acid |
| sound waves transmitted to visualize muscles, legaments | Ultrasound |
| compound capable of producing analgesia. one that relieves pain by alltering perception of nociceptive simuli without producing anesthesia or loss of consciousness | Analgesic |
| a drug that is destructive to or preventing the browth of bacteria | Antibacterial |
| a drug that reduces the levels of uric acid | Antihyperuricemic |
| reducing inflammation by acting on body responses without directly antagonizing the causative agent | Antiinflammatory medications |
| an agent that reduces fever | Antipyretics |
| Aspiration of fluid from a joint through a needle | Arthrocentesis |
| the stiffening of a joint by operative means | Arthrodesis |
| an operation to restore as far as possible the integrity and functional power of a joint | Arthroplasty |
| anyh free (unattached) bone for transplantation | Bone Graft |
| an orthosis or orthopedic appliance that supports or holds in correction position any movable part of the body and that allows motion of the part | Brace |
| Surgical removal of a bunion | Bunionectomy |
| Rigid encasement of a body part, as with plaster, fiberglss or plastic to immobilize | Cast |
| a steroid prodouced by the adrenal cortex: a corticoid containing a steroid | Corticosteroid |
| Excision of a ganglion | Ganglionectomy |
| a balloon is used to inflate the area of fracture before a cement-like substance in injected. used in fractured vertebra | Kyphoplasty |
| surgical repair of a muscle | Myoplasty |
| any one of a group of pharmacotherapeutic agents exerting antiinflammatory actions (asprin, ibuprofen) made with serroid compounds | Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) |
| reduction by manipulation of bone after incision in skin and muscle over the site of the fracture & stabilization of fracture | Open Reduction Internal Fixation |
| Bone grafting: reparative or plastic surgery of the bones | osteoplasty |
| cutting a bone usually by means of a saw or chisel | Osteotomy |
| treatment to rehibilitate patients disabled by injury with different modalities suce as exercise | Physical therapy |
| Fabricated substitute for a diseased or missing part of the body | Prosthesis |
| an appliance used to prevent movement of a joint or to fixate displaced or movable part | Splint |
| A surgical procedure to accomplish bony fusion between two or more vertebrae | Spondylosyndesis |
| suture of the divided ends of a tendon | Tenorrhaphy |
| the surgical division of a tendon for relief of a deformity caused by congenital or acquired shortening of a muscle as in club foot | Tenotomy |
| a pulling or dragging force exerted on a limb in a distal direction for fracture alignment | Traction |
