dysfunctional syndromes/ syndromes of impairement Explanation: osteosynthesis=Surgical fastening of the ends of a fractured bone by mechanical means. syndrome=a group of symptoms and signs of disordered function related to one another by means of anatomic, physiologic, or biochemical peculiarity. This definition does not include a precise cause of an illness but does provide a framework of reference for investigating it. dysfunction=Abnormal, inadequate or impaired function of an organ or part. There is no such thing as dysfunction syndrome in English medical terms, nor syndrome of dysfunction or the like. Therefore, I would suggest the following translation: can lead to dysfunctional syndromes/syndromes of impairements/inadequate functions at the joint level--which could be articulation as the prev. answerer proposed, but does not have to be. articulation=1. the place of union between two or more bones; a joint. It is classified as bein immovable (synarthrosis), slightly movable (amphiarthrosis), or freely movable (diarthosis). Cartilage, or fibrous or soft tissue, lines the opposing furfaces of all joints. 2. the rel. position of the tongue and palate nec. to produce a give sound. etc. etc. . . . 4. The movement of articulating surfaces through their available joint play or range of motion, used to determine joint mobility or as a technique for treating joint pain. Given all the variables esp. 1 and 4, when using articulation, I would prefer to say, that it leads to . . . at the joint level/joint etc. Taber's Medical Dictionary |
