| Arthroscopy | Process of visual examination of a joint |
| Chondroma | benign tumor of cartilage |
| costochondritits | inflammation of a rib and its cartilage |
| craniotomy | incision of the skull |
| ligamentous | pertaining to a ligament |
| muscular | pertaining to muscles |
| Myosarcoma | Tumor of muscle |
| Myositis | inflammation of a muscle |
| myelodysplasia | abnormal development of bone marrow |
| osteomyelitis | inflammation of bone and bone marrow |
| pelvic | pertaining to bone of the hip area |
| spondylosis | abnormal condition of a vertebra or vertebrae |
| intervertebral | pertaining to lying between two backbones |
| tenorrhaphy | suture of a tendon |
| tendinitis | inflammation of a tendon |
| Ankylosing spondylitis | Chronic, progressive arthritis with stiffening of joints, primarily of the spine and hip |
| Carpal tunnel syndrome | compression of the median nerve as it passes between the ligament and the bones and tendons of the wrist |
| Gouty arthritis | Inflammation of joints caused by excessive uric acid. Also called gout |
| Muscular dystrophy | An inherited disorder characterized by progressive weakness and degeneration of muscle fibers |
| Osteoprosis | Decrease in bone density with thinning and weakening of bone. |
| Rheumatoid arthritis | Chronic inflammation of joints; pain, swelling, and stiffening, especially in the small joints of the hands and feet. |
| Antinuclear antibody (ANA) test | Test in which a sample of plasma is tested for the presence of antibodies found in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus |
| Arthrocentesis | Surgical puncture to remove fluid from a joint |
| Arthrography | X-ray imaging of a joint |
| Arthroscopy | Visual examination of a joint with an arthroscope |
| Bone density test | Low-energy x-ray are used to image bones in the spinal column, pelvis, and wrist to detect areas of bone deficiency. |
| Bone scan | Procedure in which a radioactive substance is injected intravenously and its uptake in bones is measured with a special scanning device |
| Calcium level | Measurement of the amount of calcium in a sample of blood (serum). This test is important in evaluating diseases of bone. |
| Electromyography (EMG) | Recording of the strength of muscle contraction resulting from electrical stimulation |
| Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) | Measurement of the rate at which red blood cells fall to the bottom of a test tube. High sedimentation rates are associated with inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. |
| Muscle biopsy | The removal of muscle tissue for microscopic examination |
| Uric acid test | Measurement of the amount of uric acid in a sample of blood. hight uric acid levels are associated with gouty arthritis. |
| Arthroplasty | Surgical repair of a joint. Total hip arthroplasty is the replacement of the head of the femur (thigh bone) and acetabulum (cup-shaped portion of the hip socket) with artificial parts that are cemented into the bone. |
| Endoscopic diskectomy | Surgical removal of a herniated intervertebral disk with an endoscope |
| Laminectomy | Surgical removal of a portion of a vertebra to allow visualization and removal of a portion of a protruding disk |
| Microscopic diskectromy | Surgical removal of a herniated intervertebral disk with an incision that is 1 or 2 inches long and visualization of the surgical field with an operating microscope |
| Vertebroplasty | Surgical repair of vertebrae. Special cement is injected into backbones to strengthen them and to relieve pain caused by compression factures |
| ACL | Anterior cruciate ligament (of the knee) |
| ANA | Antinuclear antibody |
| C1-C7 | Cervical vertebrae |
| Ca | Calcium |
| DOMS | Delayed-onset muscle soreness |
| EMG | electromyography |
| ESR | Erythrocyte sedimentation rate |
| IM | Intramuscular |
| L1-L5 | Lumbar vertebrae |
| NSAID | Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (prescribed to treat joint disorders) |
| Ortho | Orthopedics (or orthopaedics) |
| PT | Physical therapy |
| ROM | Range of motion |
| T1-T12 | Thoracic vertebrae |
