#bone fusion
- Ankylosis — A marked diminution or complete loss of mobility in a joint, occurring due to an intracapsular bony or fibrous fusion, caused by chronic inflammatory processes (rheumatism, arthritis), infections, severe trauma, or prolonged immobilization in bed or a plaster cast.
- Arthrodesis — Surgical intervention aimed at the permanent fixation of a movable joint through artificial bone fusion, designed to restore skeletal stability and eliminate severe chronic pain. This procedure permanently blocks movement in the treated segment, serving as a final therapeutic solution for advanced joint destruction caused by arthrosis, major trauma, or congenital deformities.
