Osteoporosis is a progressive bone disease characterized by decreased bone density and strength, leading to an increased risk of fractures, particularly in weight-bearing bones such as the hip, spine, and wrist. In orthopedics, osteoporosis presents significant challenges, as even minor falls or trauma can result in serious injuries in individuals with weakened bones.

Synovitis is an inflammation of the synovial membrane, which lines the joints and produces synovial fluid that lubricates them. In orthopedics, synovitis often presents as joint pain, swelling, and stiffness, commonly affecting weight-bearing joints like the knees, hips, and ankles. It can result from various conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and acute injuries.

The meniscus is a crescent-shaped cartilage structure located in the knee joint, consisting of two menisci (medial and lateral) that act as shock absorbers between the femur (thigh bone) and tibia (shin bone). It plays a crucial role in stabilizing the knee, distributing weight, and facilitating smooth joint movement. Injuries to the meniscus, often caused by trauma or degeneration, can lead to pain, swelling, and decreased range of motion.
