Read the following excerpt from a patient's health record: "Mrs. Maureen Goldman presented to the orthopedic clinic with a chronic history of arthralgia. She has been previously diagnosed with osteoarthritis. She was initially treated with NSAIDs and an orthotic that helped for a time.

While it helped some, she reports it didn't completely get rid of her symptoms, and she returns today for evaluation." Mrs. Goldman was treated at one time with what kind of surgery?
