to the fact that the proximal lumbar spine is coercing a problem below that level.  If you look at the context of the word coercion:


1 : to restrain or dominate by force : to compel to an act or choice.

I had a blank on a podiatry exam that my QA filled in like this...


"would recommended a modified Weil osteotomy to decompress the joint along with opening up and cleaning up any osteophytes and possibly a colectomy of the second metatarsophalangeal joint."


I had a blank where the word colectomy is.  I've never heard of a colectomy of the MTP joint.  I did a search but didn't find anything.  I'd like to document it if it exists.
