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]
Other causes of bone diseases include severe impacts/injuries and weakness in bones/bone loss. The effects of bone disorders will vary with disease. The effects can occur physically, mentally and financially as well as impact the individuals quality of life. Orthopaedic disorders can drastically affect an individual's functional ability.
Chalkstick fracture; Other names: Carrot stick fractures: Chalkstick fracture due to bone metastasis of breast cancer. The left image shows the metastasis, on the right a pathological fracture a few days later. Specialty: Orthopedics: Risk factors: Paget's disease of bone, ankylosing spondylitis, and osteopetrosis.
Only a small number of conditions are commonly responsible for pathological fractures, including osteoporosis, osteomalacia, Paget's disease, Osteitis, osteogenesis imperfecta, benign bone tumours and cysts, secondary malignant bone tumours and primary malignant bone tumours. Fragility fracture is a type of pathologic fracture that occurs as a ...
This may either be congenital or the result of a bone disorder. The most common cause of coxa vara is either congenital or developmental. Other common causes include metabolic bone diseases (e.g. Paget's disease of bone), post-Perthes deformity, osteomyelitis, and post traumatic (due to improper healing of a fracture between the greater and ...
Osteitis is inflammation of bone. More specifically, it can refer to one of the following conditions: Osteomyelitis, or infectious osteitis, mainly bacterial osteitis [1] Alveolar osteitis or "dry socket" [2] Condensing osteitis (or Osteitis condensans) Osteitis deformans (or Paget's disease of bone) [3]
Osteitis deformans (or Paget's disease of bone) [16] Osteitis fibrosa cystica (or Osteitis fibrosa, or Von Recklinghausen's disease of bone) Osteitis pubis; Condensing osteitis (or Osteitis condensas) Osteochondritis dissecans [17] Osteochondroma (bone tumor) Osteogenesis imperfecta [18] Osteomalacia [19] Osteomyelitis [20] Osteopenia [21 ...
There are many bone disorders such as osteoporosis, Paget's disease, hypothyroidism. [2] Although there are many forms of bone disorders, they all have one thing in common; abnormalities of specific organs involved, deficiency in vitamin D or low Calcium in diet, which results in poor bone mineralization.
