The surgical loosening of an ankylosed joint is called ARTHROLYSIS. Arthrodesis is the opposite -- surgical ankylosing of a joint.
The abnormal softening of that cartilage?
Arthrolysis
Arthrocentesis is the term meaning surgical puncture of a joint. This procedure is usually done to remove fluid for analysis or to increase comfort.
Patelloplasty is resurfacing or revision of the patella in knee replacement surgery. Arthroscopy is a surgical procedure orthopaedic surgeons use to visualize, diagnose, and treat problems inside a joint.
Ankylosis
Arthrocentesis is the surgical puncture of a joint space to remove synovial fluid.Basically put a needle in the joint, and then aspirate the fluid. This is usually a diagnostic and not a therapeutic procedure. The fluid is then sent for investigation. It can be a therapeutic procedure, though it won't cure, but it may relieve pain (for example with arthritis).As infection in a joint is to be avoided at all costs, this should be done under the most aseptic circumstances possible.arthrocentesisArthrocentesis (arthr = joint + centesis = puncture) is procedure where a syringe is used to collect synovial fluid from the joint capsule for examination. It is also known as joint aspiration. The procedure is used to diagnose gout, arthritis and synovial infections.Arthrocentesis (arthr = joint + centesis = puncture) is procedure where a syringe is used to collect synovial fluid from the joint capsule for examination.

a surgical procedure in which the bones of the hip joint are cut, reoriented, and fixed in a new position. Healthy cartilage is placed in the weight-bearing area of the joint, followed by reconstruction of the joint in a more normal position.
A hip osteotomy is a surgical procedure in which the hip bone is cut and reshaped. It is done to correct hip deformities or improve the alignment of the hip joint. This procedure can help alleviate pain, improve hip function, and delay or prevent the need for a hip replacement surgery in some cases.
The surgical placement of an artificial joint is known as a joint replacement.
The term Arthroplasty refers to the surgical procedure in which a surgeon reconstructs or revitalizes functioning power or ability to a joint or joints.
Well, an arthroscopy is an invasive procedure. They actually look into whatever joint you need examined. On the other hand, an MRI is exactly that, an image or picture of the joint in question. So the option is totally yours...minor surgical procedure or...a picture, you pick.
Yes, arthrocentesis is surgical puncture of a joint to remove fluid.It's true.
-desis = fixation of bone or joint -pexy = fixation of an organ
In general, infectious arthritis is caused by the spread of a bacterial, viral, or fungal infection through the bloodstream to the joint. The disease agents may enter the joint directly from the outside as a result of an injury or a surgical procedure.
