What is another word for osteoclasis?
Pronunciation: [ˈɒstɪˌɒklɐsˌiz] (IPA) 
There are several synonyms for the medical term "osteoclasis", which refers to the surgical procedure of intentionally breaking a bone. One synonym for osteoclasis is "osteotomy", which also involves the cutting and repositioning of bone. Another synonym is "bone reshaping", which is a broader, non-medical term that accurately describes the results of osteoclasis. Additionally, "bone rebreaking" can also be used to describe the procedure of intentionally causing a previously healed bone fracture to fracture again. Other terms that may be used in place of osteoclasis include "bone cutting", "bone fracturing", or "bone adjustment". While each of these terms has its own nuance, they all refer to the same medical procedure of intentionally breaking a bone for therapeutic purposes.
