  1. 2. A degenerative joint disease where cartilage breaks down, leading to pain, stiffness, and swelling.
  2. 3. An infection in the bone, usually caused by bacteria.
  3. 4. A cell that breaks down bone tissue, helping to maintain bone health.
  4. 6. Degeneration of the spine, often due to aging or wear and tear.
  5. 11. A surgery where a bone is cut to fix deformities or correct bone alignment.
  6. 13. An excessive inward curve of the lower spine, often called "swayback."
  7. 14. Pain in the joints, which may be caused by injury or disease.
  8. 17. Inflammation of cartilage, often causing pain and swelling.
  9. 20. A surgical procedure to repair damaged cartilage, often in joints like the knee.
  10. 21. Softening of the bones, usually caused by a vitamin D deficiency.
  11. 22. An abnormal sideways curvature of the spine.

  2. 5. Surgical removal of cartilage, often when it is damaged or causing problems.
  3. 7. Stiffening or immobility of a joint due to abnormal bone fusion.

  10. 17. A benign tumor made of cartilage.
  11. 18. Softening or damage to the cartilage, commonly in the knee.
  12. 19. A condition where bone density is lower than normal but not low enough to be classified as osteoporosis.
  13. 22. Inflammation of the vertebrae in the spine, often causing pain and stiffness.
  14. 25. Surgical repair or reshaping of bones, often after an injury or deformity.
  15. 26. A condition where bones become weak and brittle, making them more likely to break.
