Opinion

Orthopedic surgery, often known as orthopaedics, is a type of surgery that deals with musculoskeletal problems. Orthopedic surgeons treat musculoskeletal trauma, spine problems, sports injuries, degenerative diseases, infections, cancers, and congenital disorders with both surgical and nonsurgical methods. Acute injuries, congenital and acquired disorders, and chronic arthritic or overuse conditions of the bones, joints, and their associated soft tissues, including ligaments, nerves, and muscles, are all treated by orthopaedic surgery. A bone marrow transplant is also called a stem cell transplant or, more specifically, a hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Transplantation can be used to treat certain types of cancer, such as leukemia, myeloma, and lymphoma, and other blood and immune system diseases that affect the bone marrow. A bone marrow transplant is fraught with dangers. A bone marrow transplant can cause minor difficulties in some people, but it can also cause major complications that require treatment or hospitalisation in others. Complications might be life-threatening at times.

An autologous transplant uses stem cells from your own body. Cancer is occasionally treated with high-dose, intense chemotherapy or radiation therapy. This form of treatment has the potential to harm your stem cells and immune system. That's why, before starting cancer treatment, doctors extract or rescue your stem cells from your blood or bone marrow. ,To try to destroy all the cancer cells in a normal stem cell transplant for cancer, very high doses of chemo are utilised, sometimes in combination with radiation therapy. The stem cells in the bone marrow are also killed by this treatment. Myeloablation, or myeloablative therapy, is the term for this procedure. Stem cells are provided (transplanted) shortly after treatment to replace those that were killed. Similar to a blood transfusion, the replacement stem cells are injected into a vein. The goal is for the transplanted cells to settle in the bone marrow, develop, and produce healthy blood cells over time.

Engraftment is the term for this procedure. Some persons are able to complete bone marrow transplantation with few difficulties and side effects. Others face a variety of issues, both short-term and long-term. The severity of adverse effects and the transplant's outcome varies from person to person, and it's sometimes difficult to predict before the procedure. The development of new biochemical indicators of bone metabolism has yielded a wealth of information regarding the pathophysiology, diagnosis, prevention, and therapy of osteoporotic bone disease in recent years. These characteristics, when combined with clinical data and imaging tools, allow for a thorough and non-invasive assessment of skeletal health. Biochemical markers of bone metabolism may thus be used to predict future bone loss and hip fractures in larger cohorts, to choose therapy for individual patients, to predict therapeutic response in individual patients, to monitor therapeutic response and efficacy in individual patients, and to track patient compliance.

Measurement of bone turnover may thus be important not only in therapeutic decision-making, but also in cost-cutting by detecting patients who may not respond well to therapy. Finally, bone markers can be used to track the progression of a disease as well as the effectiveness of a treatment [1-5].
