Procedure Description AO fixation Swiss method of application of internal fixation (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Fuer Osteosynthesefragen = Association for the Study of Internal Fixation) Arthrodesis Surgical immobilization of a joint by cartilage removal, usually with fixation Arthroplasty Formation or restoration of a joint, usually with a metallic or nonmetallic implant Cheilectomy Dorsal bone resection, typically of the first metatarsal head Chondroplasty Restorative or reshaping surgery of the cartilage Gastroc recession Lengthening of gastrocnemius aponeurosis because of gastrocnemius equinus or tightness Ilizarov method Russian method of application of external fixation with fine wires and ring fixators Keller procedure Resection of the base of proximal phalanx of hallux Osteotomy Bone division to correct a deformity, usually stabilized with fixation (Akin for proximal phalanx; Chevron, SCARF, crescentic for first metatarsal; Dwyer for calcaneus) Synovectomy Removing part or all of the synovial membrane Tendon transfer Shifting a functioning tendon from its original attachment to a new one to restore the action that has been lost Tendon/Achilles lengthening Lengthening of Achilles tendon because of gastrocsoleus equinus deformity or tightness, commonly known as TAL
