Bone cancer can be divided into primary and metastatic, which refers to cancer that has spread from other parts of the body to the bone tissue. The majority of cases fall under metastatic bone cancer. As for primary bone cancer, it originates in the bone cells and is relatively rare.

Chronic pain is persistent pain that lasts for more than 3-6 months and can cause significant physical and emotional distress, even after the underlying injury or medical condition has healed.

Sports medicine is a key subspecialty within orthopaedics, focusing on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of injuries or conditions related to physical activity, sports, repetitive strain, or trauma. It addresses not only athletes but also active individuals and older adults suffering from degenerative or activity-related musculoskeletal problems.

Hip surgery refers to a range of orthopaedic procedures aimed at repairing, reconstructing, or replacing damaged hip joints. It is commonly performed for conditions such as joint degeneration, fractures, congenital abnormalities, mobility issues, or chronic pain.

Plate-Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP) is an advanced regenerative treatment commonly used in orthopaedics. It involves drawing the patient’s own blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and injecting it into injured or degenerative areas to promote healing and tissue repair.

Cartilage is a flexible, smooth connective tissue that covers the ends of bones within joints. It plays a vital role in reducing friction and absorbing shock during joint movement. Articular Cartilage Damage refers to damage or deterioration of this tissue and is commonly found in the knee, hip, shoulder, and ankle joints. Since cartilage has very limited self-repair ability, early diagnosis and treatment are crucial.
