• -algia: 

• Pain Example: Myalgia – Pain in a muscle, often caused by overuse, injury, or systemic conditions like fibromyalgia.

-ar

•  Pertaining to Example: Patellar – Pertaining to the kneecap (patella), a small bone that protects the knee joint and assists in movement.

• -asthenia

• Weakness Example: Myasthenia – Muscle weakness, commonly associated with conditions like myasthenia gravis, an autoimmune disorder affecting neuromuscular function.

-centesis:

•  Surgical puncture to aspirate fluid Example: Arthrocentesis – Surgical puncture of a joint to remove fluid for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes, often used to relieve swelling or analyze joint conditions.

• -clasia

• Break Example: Osteoclasia – Surgical breaking of bone tissue to correct deformities or aid in the healing process in severe cases.

• -clast

• Break Example: Osteoclast – A specialized bone cell that breaks down bone tissue during bone remodeling and repair.

• -desis.

• Surgical fixation, fusion Example: Arthrodesis – Surgical fusion of a joint to provide stability and reduce pain, often used for severe arthritis.

• -ectomy.

• Excision, surgical removal, cutting out Example: Tenectomy – Surgical removal of part of a tendon, often performed to treat chronic tendon inflammation or injury.

• -gram: 

• The record, radiographic image Example: Myogram – A record of muscle contraction activity, often used to diagnose neuromuscular disorders.

• -graphy: 

• Process of recording, radiographic imaging Example: Arthrography – Imaging of a joint using contrast dye to assess joint structures such as cartilage, ligaments, and bones.

• -ic: 

• Pertaining to Example: Thoracic – Pertaining to the thorax (chest), which houses the lungs, heart, and other vital structures.

• -itis: 

• Inflammation Example: Myositis – Inflammation of muscle tissue, which can be caused by infections, autoimmune disorders, or trauma.

• -lysis: 

• Loosening, separating, dissolution Example: Osteolysis – Destruction or dissolution of bone tissue, often seen in conditions like bone metastasis or infection.

-malacia: 

•  Softening Example: Chondromalacia – Softening of cartilage, particularly in the knee, leading to pain and difficulty with movement.

• -oid: 

•  Resembling Example: Myeloid – Resembling bone marrow, often used to describe cells or tissues related to hematopoiesis.

• -oma

•  Tumor Example: Rhabdomyoma – A benign tumor of muscle tissue, typically found in the heart or skeletal muscles.

• -osis

•  Abnormal condition Example: Scoliosis – Abnormal curvature of the spine, which can cause back pain, reduced mobility, and postural issues.

• -penia

•  Abnormal reduction Example: Sarcopenia – Loss of muscle mass and strength, often associated with aging, inactivity, or poor nutrition.

• -physis

•  Growth Example: Epiphysis – The growth end of a long bone, critical during childhood and adolescence for bone elongation.

-plasty

 Surgical repair Example: Myoplasty – Surgical repair or reconstruction of damaged or weakened muscle tissue.

• -rrhaphy

•  Suturing, repairing Example: Tenorrhaphy – Suturing of a torn or severed tendon to restore function and stability.

• -sarcoma

• Malignant tumor Example: Osteosarcoma – A malignant bone tumor commonly affecting children and young adults, requiring surgical and medical treatment.

-scopy

 Process of viewing, visual examination Example: Arthroscopy – Visual examination of a joint using a specialized instrument to diagnose and treat joint condition.

• -tomy

• Incision, cut into Example: Myotomy – Surgical incision into a muscle, often performed to relieve tightness or treat muscle disorders.

• -trophy

•  Nourishment, development Example: Hypertrophy – Excessive development of tissue or an organ, commonly referring to increased muscle size due to exercise or compensatory growth.
