Surgical repair or replacement of a joint
Greek: arthr/o (joint) + -plasty (surgical repair)
arthroplasty is one of 44 musculoskeletal terms in the library. Today's free round is 10 questions drawn across all 441 terms, and today's 25-card deck spans the body systems. Both are free and replayable as often as you like, with a new draw every day.
Premium aims a round or a deck at Musculoskeletal on its own and draws a fresh one whenever you ask, rather than replaying today's, and adds spelling drills and mastery tracking. See Premium plans.
