1. Introduction to Orthopedic Diseases<\/h3>

Orthopedic diseases encompass a broad spectrum of musculoskeletal disorders affecting the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage. These conditions may arise due to degenerative processes, autoimmune disorders, congenital anomalies, infections, trauma, or metabolic imbalances.<\/p>

Definition of Orthopedic Diseases<\/h3>

Orthopedic diseases can be classified into three major categories:<\/p>

\"\u2705\"\u00a0Degenerative Diseases \u2013 Osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and spinal stenosis.<\/p>

\"\u2705\"\u00a0Inflammatory\/Autoimmune Disorders \u2013 Rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and ankylosing spondylitis.<\/p>

\"\u2705\"\u00a0Trauma and Congenital Deformities \u2013 Fractures, scoliosis, and developmental dysplasia of the hip.<\/p>

These conditions result in\u00a0pain, stiffness, decreased mobility, disability, and a diminished quality of life\u00a0<\/strong>if left untreated.<\/p>

2. Detailed Classification of Orthopedic Diseases<\/h3>

\"\u2714\ufe0f\"\u00a0Joint replacement in end-stage RA.<\/p>

Metabolic Bone Disorders<\/h3>

Metabolic bone diseases involve abnormal bone remodeling, leading to fragility and fractures.<\/p>

Osteoporosis<\/h4>

Definition:<\/h5>

\"\u2714\ufe0f\"\u00a0Systemic skeletal disorder causing low bone mass and increased fracture risk.<\/p>

\"\u2714\ufe0f\"\u00a0Common in postmenopausal women and elderly men.<\/p>
