Bone Disorders and Metabolic Bone Diseases

Bone disorders and metabolic bone diseases refer to conditions that affect the strength and structure of bones. In the context of clinical rheumatology, these diseases can lead to weakened bones, increasing the risk of fractures and pain. Common examples include osteoporosis, where bones become fragile due to loss of density, and osteomalacia, which involves softening of bones from vitamin D deficiency. Effective management often includes medications, lifestyle changes, and nutritional support to improve bone health and prevent complications, focusing on maintaining mobility and quality of life.
