Ankylosis.
Stiffness in the joints in medical terminology is also often referred to as Arthritis, if the stiffness is caused by inflammation from disease, injury, disorder or infection.
If the stiffness results in total joint immobility it is called an ankylosed joint.
Many common forms of stiffness, hardness, or induration of soft tissue are called sclerosis. Sclerotic tissue is stiff or hard tissue.
Examples: arteriosclerosis, atherosclerosis, cerebrosclerosis, scleroderma, multiple sclerosis (MS).

Bunion
Anchylosis is another term for ankylosis, the growing together of bones or the stiffening of a joint as the result of abnormal fusion.

Articulation is the medical term meaning joint. The medical terminology combining form meaning joint is arthro-.
The medical term for excessive turning is "hyperkinesis." It refers to abnormal or excessive involuntary movements or muscle activity.
Contracture is abnormal shortening of muscle. This condition limits joint mobility by making the flexor muscle resistant to stretching. It usually results from lack of movement of the joint, as after an accident or neurological disease.
ANKYLOSIS
Arthrocentesis is the medical term meaning aspiration of fluid from a joint.
Ankylosis is the stiffening or fusion of a joint due to abnormal growth of bone or connective tissue. It can be caused by conditions such as arthritis, injury, infection, or inflammation that disrupt the normal function of the joint and lead to the formation of excess bone.
Flexing is the medical term meaning decreasing an angle as in bending a joint.
