abduction - answersMovement of limb away from the midline of the body
Adduction - answersMovement of limb toward the midline of the body
angulated fracture - answersfracture in which the broken bone segments are at an
angle to each other
articulation - answerswhere two bones meet
atrophy - answersdecrease in size/wasting away of a body part/tissue
bursa - answerssmall serous sac between a tendon and a bone
bursitis - answersInflammation of the connective tissue structure surrounding a joint
Cartilage - answerstough tissue that covers the joint ends of bones and helps to form
certain body parts such as the ear
closed extremity injury - answersan injury to an extremity with no associated opening in
the skin
comminuted fracture - answersa fracture in which the bone is broken in several places
compartment syndrome - answersinjury caused when tissues such as blood vessels
and nerves are constricted within a space as from swelling or from a tight dressing or
cast
crepitus - answersgrating/crackling sound or sensation (produced by fractured ends of
bone moving against one another)
dislocation - answersthe disruption or "coming apart" of a joint from it's normal position

also known as swelling
edema is also known as? - answersswelling
