Arthrochalasia Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (aEDS, formerly EDS type VIIA/VIIB) is a rare autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder from COL1A1 or COL1A2 exon 6 loss, causing congenital bilateral hip dislocation, severe joint hypermobility, and hyperextensible skin; about 50 cases reported.

Arthroconidium

Arthrodesis, or joint fusion, is an operation that permanently fuses the bones on either side of a joint to relieve pain, correct deformity, and stabilize the limb.

Arthroereisis

Arthroereisis is a minimally invasive surgical procedure for flexible flatfoot, mainly in children, in which an implant in the sinus tarsi restores the medial arch without fusing the joint.

Arthrography

Arthrography is an imaging technique in which contrast material is injected into a joint before radiography, CT, or MRI, distending the joint capsule to outline structures such as cartilage and ligaments.

Arthrogryposis

Arthrogryposis, or arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC), is a descriptive term for multiple congenital joint contractures in two or more body areas, affecting about 1 in 3000 live births, caused by fetal akinesia and linked to over 400 genes.

Arthroplasty

Arthroplasty, or joint replacement, is reconstructive joint surgery replacing damaged surfaces with prostheses, most often hip and knee. Key facts: Glück's 1891 ivory hip implant, Charnley's 1960s cemented low-friction arthroplasty, osteoarthritis as main indication, 95% 14-year hip implant survival.

Arthroplasty, Replacement, Finger

Arthroplasty, Replacement, Finger is surgery that replaces an arthritic or post-traumatic finger joint, usually the MCP or PIP joint, with an artificial implant to relieve pain and preserve motion.
