Hi
everyone
!
Today
,
we
?
ll
be
looking
at
a
few
medical
terms
related
to
joint
conditions
.
Let
?
s
start
with
a
case
.
Case
:
A
65
-
year
-
old
patient
comes
to
the
clinic
with
complaints
of
severe
stiffness
in
their
joints
and
difficulty
moving
.
Student
(
Mohamed
)
:
That
sounds
like
it
could
be
.
TA
:
Excellent
observation
,
Mohamed
!
Let
?
s
break
it
down
:
The
term
is
composed
of
the
root
-
which
means
stiffness
,
and
the
suffix
-
,
which
indicates
an
abnormal
condition
.
So
,
refers
to
an
of
,
often
seen
in
joints
due
to
fusion
or
severe
.
Student
:
That
makes
sense
.
What
if
the
patient
was
complaining
of
joint
pain
?
TA
:
Great
question
!
In
that
case
,
we
would
use
the
term
:
Here
,
the
root
is
-
,
meaning
joint
,
and
the
suffix
is
-
,
which
indicates
pain
.
So
,
means
pain
in
a
joint
.
Student
:
I
see
!
So
what
if
the
joint
is
inflamed
?
TA
:
The
correct
term
would
be
In
this
term
,
-
again
refers
to
joint
,
and
the
suffix
-
signifies
inflammation
.
So
,
Arthritis
simply
means
of
a
,
which
is
common
in
conditions
like
rheumatoid
arthritis
.

TA
(
Nermeen
)
:
Let
?
s
move
on
to
a
different
scenario
.
Case
:
A
patient
is
scheduled
for
surgery
to
remove
part
of
their
wrist
bone
due
to
severe
.
Student
(
Mohamed
)
:
That
sounds
like
a
.
TA
:
Exactly
!
Let
?
s
look
at
the
components
:
Carpectomy
:
The
root
word
-
refers
to
the
wrist
,
and
the
suffix
-
means
excision
or
removal
.
So
,
Carpectomy
refers
to
the
of
a
(
wrist
bone
)
.
Student
:
What
if
they
needed
to
remove
part
of
the
cartilage
instead
?
TA
:
Then
the
procedure
would
be
called
a
:
Chondrectomy
:
Here
,
the
root
word
is
-
,
meaning
cartilage
,
and
the
suffix
-
again
indicates
excision
.
So
,
refers
to
the
excision
of
cartilage
,
which
might
be
necessary
in
cases
of
damaged
cartilage
.
Student
:
I
also
heard
about
a
procedure
called
.
What
?
s
that
?
TA
:
Good
question
!
Bursectomy
is
another
common
procedure
:
Bursectomy
:
In
this
term
,
-
refers
to
the
bursa
,
a
fluid
-
filled
sac
that
reduces
friction
in
joints
,
and
-
ectomy
indicates
excision
.
So
,
means
excision
of
the
bursa
,
typically
done
when
inflammation
.
Student
:
And
what
if
the
bursa
is
just
inflamed
and
not
removed
?
TA
:
Then
we
use
the
term
:
Bursitis
:
Burs
-
still
refers
to
the
bursa
,
and
-
means
inflammation
.
So
,
Bursitis
is
the
of
the
,
which
can
be
quite
painful
,
especially
in
conditions
like
shoulder
or
elbow
bursitis
.
Student
:
I
?
m
noticing
that
the
suffixes
play
a
key
role
in
defining
these
term
