Paget's disease of bone is the second most common metabolic bone disorder, after osteoporosis. [37] The overall prevalence and severity of Paget's disease are decreasing; the cause for these changes is unclear. [38] Paget's disease is rare in people less than 55 years of age, [7] and the prevalence increases with age. [38]
Paget’s disease of bone is a chronic disorder characterized by abnormal bone remodeling. The pelvic brim sign arises due to excessive bone resorption due to increased osteoclastic activity in the early stages of the disease leads to localized bone loss, as well as excessive bone formation during the later stages of the diseases.
