The term derives from the Greek arthro (joint) and ereisis (to lift or support), implying joint-level action that does not reflect the primary mechanism of the procedure. The sinus tarsi implant\u2014and the family of interventions grouped under this designation\u2014acts not on a joint surface as its primary mechanism but on the talar body itself, physically elevating and realigning the talus as a whole bone within a non-articular ligamentous and fibroadipose corridor, producing a cascade of peritalar corrections across the subtalar, talonavicular, calcaneocuboid, and talocrural joints as secondary consequences of this primary osseous repositioning. Radiographic evidence from unilateral cases demonstrates measurable osseous talar elevation on the treated limb compared to the contralateral untreated limb on weight-bearing views, consistent with the bone-level primary corrective effect. This article proposes the adoption of the term osteoereisis\u2014from the Greek osteo (bone) and ereisis (to lift or support)\u2014as an anatomically precise and mechanism-based replacement that correctly identifies the talus as the primary object of surgical effect. The term is explicitly device-agnostic and encompasses all surgical and conservative interventions that achieve bone-level osseous realignment of the primary articulating bone toward its physiologically normal position. The author invites collegial discussion of this proposal within the podiatric, orthopedic, and foot and ankle surgical community.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/japma116050067","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,17]],"date-time":"2026-09-17T08:03:17Z","timestamp":1789632197000},"page":"67","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["From Arthroereisis to Osteoereisis: A Nomenclature Proposal for a Misnamed Surgical Procedure"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"116","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-6393-7679","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elie C.","family":"Daniel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Mendota Princeton Peru Foot and Ankle Clinics, Mendota, IL 61342, USA"},{"name":"Gramedica Corporation, 236 Mill Street, Rochester, MI 48307, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1127","DOI":"10.3113\/FAI.2011.1127","article-title":"Subtalar joint arthroereisis in the management of pediatric flexible flatfoot: A critical review of the literature","volume":"32","author":"Metcalfe","year":"2011","journal-title":"Foot Ankle Int."},{"key":"ref_2","unstructured":"Sabry, A., and Dreyer, M.
