Bone metastasis occurs when cancer cells spread from their original (primary) site to the bones. It is a common complication in advanced stages of cancer and can significantly affect a patient’s quality of life. Cancers such as breast, prostate, lung, kidney, and thyroid cancer most frequently metastasize to the bones.

What Is Bone Metastasis?

Bone metastasis is not a type of bone cancer; rather, it is secondary cancer that has spread to the bone from another organ. Cancer cells travel through the bloodstream or lymphatic system and settle in bone tissue, where they disrupt normal bone remodeling processes. This can lead to weakened bones, pain, and fractures.

Fingers That Curl: A Review of Etiology, Conservative Versus Surgical Interventions, and Recurrence Management for Dupuytren’s Contracture

Dupuytren’s Contracture is a progressive, disabling hand condition characterized by the formation of tough cords of connective tissue under the skin of the palm, causing one or more fingers to bend permanently toward the palm. Although typically painless, this fibrous thickening significantly limits hand function and can severely impact a patient's ability to perform daily tasks, with the ring and little fingers most frequently affected by the progressive flexion deformity.
