place of union between two or more bones
articulation
spongy or porous structure
cancellous
ligaments that cross each other forming an X within the notch between the femoral condyles
cruciate ligaments
production and development of blood cells, normally in the bone marrow
hematopoiesis

rod-shaped muscle
-asthenia
weakness, debility
-clasia
to break, surgical fracture
-clast
to break
stiffening and immobility of a joint as a result of disease, trauma, surgery, or abnormal bone fusion
ankylosis
painful condition resulting from compression of the median nerve within the carpal tunnel
carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS)
lameness, limping
claudication
fibrosis of connective tissue in the skin, fascia, muscle, or joint capsule that prevents normal mobility of the related tissue or joint
contracture
dry, grating sound or sensation caused by bone ends rubbing together, indicating a fracture or joint destruction
crepitation
use of electrical stimulation to record the strength of muscle contraction
electromyography
tumor of tendon sheath or joint capsule, commonly found in the wrist
ganglion cyst
effusion of blood into a joint cavity
hemarthrosis
primary malignant tumor that infiltrates the bone and red bone marrow
multiple myeloma
bony outgrowth that occasionally develops on the vertebra and may exert pressure on the spinal cord also called bone spur
osteophyte
form of osteomalacia in children caused by vitamin D deficiency
rickets
fragment of necrosed bone that has become separated from surrounding tissue
sequestrum
any slipping of a vertebra from its normal position in relationship to the one beneath it
spondylolisthesis
degeneration of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebrae and related tissues
spondylosis
partial or incomplete dislocation
subluxation
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
arthrography
radiographic procedures that use low-energy xray absorption to measure bone mineral density
bone density tests
radiological examination of the intervertebral disk structures by injecting a contrast medium
discography
radiography of the five lumbar vertebrae and the fused sacral vertebrae
lumbosacral spinal radiography
radiography of the spinal cord after injection of a contrast medium to identify and study spinal distortions caused by tumors, cysts, herniated intervertebral disks, or other lesions
myelography
nuclear medicine procedure that visualizes various tissues and organs after administration of a radionuclide
scintigraphy
procedure the restores a bone to its normal position
reduction
use of weights and pulleys to align or immobilize a fracture and facilitate the healing process
traction
padlike sac or cavity found in connective tissue usually in the vicinity of joints
bursectomy
excision of the posterior arch of a vertebra
laminectomy
treat rheumatoid arthritis by inhibiting activity within the immune system
gold salts
