Surgical or orthopedic correction of a deformity or abnormality, especially straightening of a bent or misaligned part.
From Greek 'epi' (upon) + 'dia' (through) + 'orthos' (straight) + '-osis' (condition/process). This medical term comes from classical Greek orthopedic terminology.
The root 'ortho' means straight—that's why we have 'orthodontist' (straight teeth) and 'orthopedics' (straight bones)—so epidiorthosis is the process of making something straight!
