electromyography (EMG) - answer Use of electrical stimulation to
diagnose the health of muscles and the nerve cells that control
them
reduction - answer procedure that restores a bone to its normal
position
(following reduction the bone is immobilized to maintain proper
alignment during the healing process)
closed (reduction) - answer reduction in which fractured bones are
realigned by manipulation rather than surgery
open (reduction) - answer reduction in which fractured bones are
placed in their proper position during surgery
( in open reduction of a complicated fracture, an incision is made at
the fracture site and the fracture is reduced. Placing fracture
fragments in their correct anatomical position commonly requires
internal fixation devices, such as nails, screws, and plates)
bone immobilization - answer procedures used to restrict
movement, stabile and protect a fracture, and facilitate the healing
process
casting - answer bone immobilization by application of a solid, stiff
dressing formed with plaster of Paris or similar material
,splinting - answer bone immobilization by application of an
orthopedic device to the injured body part
(A splint is constructed from wood, metal, or plaster of Paris and
may be movable or immovable)
traction - answer bone immobilization by application of weights
and pulleys to align or immobilize a fracture
amputation - answer partial or complete removal of an extremity
due to trauma or a circulatory disease
(after the extremity is removed, the surgeon cuts a shaped flap
from muscle and cutaneous tissue to cover the end of the bone and
provide a cushion and support for a prosthesis. The most common
reason for limb loss is peripheral vascular disease caused by a blood
flow blockage from cigarette smoking, physical inactivity, or
uncontrolled diabetes mellitus)
arthrocentesis - answer puncture of a joint space using a needle to
remove accumulated fluid
arthroclasia - answer surgical breaking of an ankylosed joint to
provide movement
arthroscopy - answer visual examination of the interior of a joint
and its structures using a thin, flexible fiberoptic scope called an
arthroscope that contains a magnifying lens, fiberoptic light, and
miniature camera that projects images on a monitor
,bone grafting - answer implantation or transplantation of bone
tissue from another part of the body or from another person to
serve as replacement for damaged or missing bone tissue
bursectomy - answer excision of bursa (pad-like sac or cavity found
in connective tissue, usually in the vicinity of joints)
laminectomy - answer excision of the posterior arch of a vertebrae
(laminectomy is most commonly performed to relieve the symptoms
of a ruptured (slipped) intervertebral disk)
prosthesis fitting - answer replacement of a missing part by an
artificial substitute, such as an artificial extremity
revision surgery - answer surgery repeated to correct problems of
a previously unsuccessful surgery or to replace a worn-out
prosthesis
(revision surgery is usually more complicated than the original
surgery)
bone (revision surgery) - answer revision surgery to correct
misalignment of bones, broken prostheses, and bone fractures
occurring around the prostheses
sequestrectomy - answer excision of a sequestrum (segment of
necroses bone)
synovectomy - answer excision of a synovial membrane
, total hip replacement (THR) - answer surgical procedure to replace
a hip joint damaged by a degenerative disease, commonly arthritis
(In THR the femoral head and the acetabulum are replaced with a
metal gal and stem (prosthesis). The acetabulum is coated with
pastil to avoid metal-to-metal contact on articulating surfaces; the
stem is anchored into the central core of the femur to achieve a
secure fit)
arthrography - answer series of radiographs taken after injection
of contrast material into a joint cavity, especially the knee or
shoulder, to outline the contour of the joint
bone densitometry - answer noninvasive procedure that uses low-
energy x-ray absorption to measure bone mineral density and
usually measures bones of the spine, hip, and forearm
(bone density test aka dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry)
(the x-rays measure how many grams of calcium and other bone
minerals are packed into a segment of bone. The higher the mineral
content, the denser is the bone. Areas of decreased density indicate
osteopenia and osteoporosis)
discography - answer radiology examination of the intervertebral
disk structures with injection of a contrast medium
(discography is used to diagnose suspected cases of herniated disk)
lumbosacral spinal radiography - answer radiography of the five
lumbar vertebrae and the fused sacral vertebrae, including
anteroposterior, lateral, and oblique views of the lower spine
