Arthrodesis, the Glossary
Arthrodesis, also known as artificial ankylosis or syndesis, is the artificial induction of joint ossification between two bones by surgery.[1]

Allotransplantation
Allotransplant (allo- meaning "other" in Greek) is the transplantation of cells, tissues, or organs to a recipient from a genetically non-identical donor of the same species.
See Arthrodesis and Allotransplantation
Analgesic
An analgesic drug, also called simply an analgesic, antalgic, pain reliever, or painkiller, is any member of the group of drugs used for pain management.
Ankle
The ankle, the talocrural region or the jumping bone (informal) is the area where the foot and the leg meet.
Ankle fusion
Ankle fusion, or ankle arthrodesis, is surgery of the ankle to fuse the bones to treat arthritis and for other purposes.
See Arthrodesis and Ankle fusion
Ankylosis
Ankylosis is a stiffness of a joint due to abnormal adhesion and rigidity of the bones of the joint, which may be the result of injury or disease.
Arthritis
Arthritis is a term often used to mean any disorder that affects joints.
Arthroplasty
Arthroplasty (literally "forming of joint") is an orthopedic surgical procedure where the articular surface of a musculoskeletal joint is replaced, remodeled, or realigned by osteotomy or some other procedure.
See Arthrodesis and Arthroplasty
Bone
A bone is a rigid organ that constitutes part of the skeleton in most vertebrate animals.
Bone grafting
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that replaces missing bone in order to repair bone fractures that are extremely complex, pose a significant health risk to the patient, or fail to heal properly.
See Arthrodesis and Bone grafting
Bone morphogenetic protein
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are a group of growth factors also known as cytokines and as metabologens.
See Arthrodesis and Bone morphogenetic protein
Cervical vertebrae
In tetrapods, cervical vertebrae (vertebra) are the vertebrae of the neck, immediately below the skull.
See Arthrodesis and Cervical vertebrae
The foot (feet) is an anatomical structure found in many vertebrates.
Fracture
Fracture is the appearance of a crack or complete separation of an object or material into two or more pieces under the action of stress.
Hand
A hand is a prehensile, multi-fingered appendage located at the end of the forearm or forelimb of primates such as humans, chimpanzees, monkeys, and lemurs.
Hip
In vertebrate anatomy, the hip, or coxaLatin coxa was used by Celsus in the sense "hip", but by Pliny the Elder in the sense "hip bone" (Diab, p 77) (coxae) in medical terminology, refers to either an anatomical region or a joint on the outer (lateral) side of the pelvis.
Hydroxyapatite
Hydroxyapatite (IMA name: hydroxylapatite) (Hap, HAp, or HA) is a naturally occurring mineral form of calcium apatite with the formula, often written to denote that the crystal unit cell comprises two entities.
See Arthrodesis and Hydroxyapatite
Joint
A joint or articulation (or articular surface) is the connection made between bones, ossicles, or other hard structures in the body which link an animal's skeletal system into a functional whole.
Knee
In humans and other primates, the knee joins the thigh with the leg and consists of two joints: one between the femur and tibia (tibiofemoral joint), and one between the femur and patella (patellofemoral joint).
Neuromechanics of idiopathic scoliosis
The neuromechanics of idiopathic scoliosis is about the changes in the bones, muscles and joints in cases of spinal deformity consisting of a lateral curvature scoliosis and a rotation of the vertebrae within the curve, that is not explained by either congenital vertebral abnormalities, or neuromuscular disorders such as muscular dystrophy.
See Arthrodesis and Neuromechanics of idiopathic scoliosis
Ossification
Ossification (also called osteogenesis or bone mineralization) in bone remodeling is the process of laying down new bone material by cells named osteoblasts.
See Arthrodesis and Ossification
Osteoblast
Osteoblasts (from the Greek combining forms for "bone", ὀστέο-, osteo- and βλαστάνω, blastanō "germinate") are cells with a single nucleus that synthesize bone.
See Arthrodesis and Osteoblast
Osteopromotive describes a material that promotes the de novo formation of bone.
See Arthrodesis and Osteopromotive
Pain
Pain is a distressing feeling often caused by intense or damaging stimuli.
Splint (medicine)
A splint is defined as "a rigid or flexible device that maintains in position a displaced or movable part; also used to keep in place and protect an injured part" or as "a rigid or flexible material used to protect, immobilize, or restrict motion in a part".
See Arthrodesis and Splint (medicine)
Surgery
Surgery is a medical specialty that uses manual and instrumental techniques to diagnose or treat pathological conditions (e.g., trauma, disease, injury, malignancy), to alter bodily functions (i.e., malabsorption created by bariatric surgery such as gastric bypass), to reconstruct or improve aesthetics and appearance (cosmetic surgery), or to remove unwanted tissues (body fat, glands, scars or skin tags) or foreign bodies.
Tricalcium phosphate
Tricalcium phosphate (sometimes abbreviated TCP), more commonly known as Calcium phosphate, is a calcium salt of phosphoric acid with the chemical formula Ca3(PO4)2.
See Arthrodesis and Tricalcium phosphate
Vertebral column
The vertebral column, also known as the spinal column, spine or backbone, is the core part of the axial skeleton in vertebrate animals.
