Arthroesis? sm

The patient underwent subtalar joint s/l arthroesis as well as cuneiform osteotomies and...

She is definitely saying arthroEsis and not arthroDesis.  Any ideas? 

thanks

  • It's probably arthroereisis or arthrorisis. - pc
  • It could also be: arthrocentesis = removal of fluid from a joint - EvaEv
  • Spinal fusion (arthrodesis) ...so it is arthroxesis, because it is in the foot, subtalar - EvaEv
  • arthroxesis (ahr-throk´sә-sis) scraping of diseased tissue from an articular surface. - EvaEv
    • arthroereisis - me
  • No arthroEsis, it is either arthrodesis or arthroxesis - EvaEv
  • arthrodesis nm - Chavera
