Question

choose the correct answer. which term means \inflammation of fascia\? fasciotomy tendinitis fasciitis bursitis

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each term:

• Fasciotomy: -tomy means incision, so it's a surgical procedure to cut fascia, not inflammation.
• Tendinitis: refers to inflammation of a tendon (not fascia).
• Fasciitis: The suffix -itis means inflammation, and "fascia" is the root, so fasciitis means inflammation of fascia.
• Bursitis: Inflammation of a bursa (fluid - filled sacs, not fascia).

Answer:

C. fasciitis
