We use "osteo" and "muscular" in English. I яПНm guessing that "artro" has to do with the blood vessels, but I яПНm not sure what the medical term for that would be.

So, we could talk about the osteo- -muscular system, using the appropriate term between the hyphens.

I think you are looking for the medical terminology here.

I taught English for Medicine last year, and from my medical dictionary I have extracted all the яПНo яПН listings as follows:

open fracture

orthopedic surgeon (or-thoh-PEE-dick)

orthotic (or-THOT-ick)

osteitis (oss-tee-EYE-tis)

osteoarthritis (oss-tee-oh-ar-THRIGH-tis)

osteochondroma (oss-tee-oh-kon-DROH-mah)

osteoclasis (oss-tee-OCK-lah-sis)

osteomalacia (oss-tee-oh-mah-LAY-shee-ah) h osteomyelitis (oss-tee-oh-my-eh-LYE-tis)

osteonecrosis (oss-tee-oh-neh-KROH-sis)

osteopenia (oss-tee-oh-PEE-nee-ah)

osteoporosis (oss-tee-oh-poh-ROH-sis)

osteoporotic hip fracture (oss-tee-oh-pah-ROT-ick)

osteorrhaphy (oss-tee-OR-ah-fee)

I don яПНt see your word(s) there. Are you sure you яПНve got it right? It doesn яПНt sound as if you have. It certainly isn яПНt a correct description of any of the human body systems.

"Arthro" or "artro" can also refer to "joint," such as in the word "arthritis/artritis." So a literal translation is "bone joint muscular." However, lacking real knowledge of Spanish or context, I яПНm not sure if you are referring to the musculo-skeletal system of the body or the tissue that connects bone to muscles at the joints, or tendons. I hope this helps you figure it out.

I яПНm Spanish but...not a doctor so this is a hard translation for us in my opinion. However , we must think that most of this stuff comes from latin so the translation might be as easy as " osteo arthro muscular " .

Oh, I didn яПНt think of the similiarity between "artro" and "arthro". Yes, we would say "osteo-arthro-muscular" (using hyphens).

Bruce, just for curiosity, do you think thereяПНs any difference between artro and arthro ?

Well, Flori, I was just guessing to begin with. Does "artro" mean "joint"? If so, then I think there is no difference. If not, then I яПНm wrong about it anyway.
