Osteopathies

Osteomyelitis (OM) is the infectious inflammation of bone. It may be acute or chronic and can be classified as hematogenous or non-hematogenous. It is commonly caused by bacterial infection, but rarely can be due to fungal infection.

Osteomalacia is a disease characterized by the softening of the bones caused by impaired bone metabolism primarily due to inadequate levels of available phosphate, calcium, and vitamin D, or because of resorption of calcium. The impairment of bone metabolism causes inadequate bone mineralization.

array of painful conditions in humans

bone formation disease that has material basis in hyperactive osteoclast which results in abnormal osteoblast bone formation located in skull, located in pelvis, located in vertebral column, located in set of limbs

bone death caused when the bone no longer receives blood supply

fatigue-induced fracture of the bone caused by repeated stress over time

Periostitis, also known as periostalgia, is a medical condition caused by inflammation of the periosteum, a layer of connective tissue that surrounds bone. The condition is generally chronic and is marked by tenderness and swelling of the bone and pain.

thumb|Osteopenia exists on a spectrum of normal to dangerously low bone density (osteoporosis).

Hyperostosis is an excessive growth of bone. It may lead to exostosis. It occurs in many musculoskeletal disorders and from use of drugs like Isotretinoin.

bone remodeling disease that results in the destruction of normal bone and replacing it with fibrous bone tissue

Osteitis is inflammation of bone. More specifically, it can refer to one of the following conditions: Osteomyelitis, or infectious osteitis, mainly bacterial osteitis Alveolar osteitis or "dry socket" Condensing osteitis (or Osteitis condensans) Osteitis deformans (or Paget's disease of bone) Osteitis fibrosa cystica (or Osteitis fibrosa, or Von Recklinghausen's disease of bone) Osteitis pubis Radiation osteitis Osteitis condensans ilii Panosteitis, a long bone condition in large breed dogs In horses, pedal osteitis is frequently confused with laminitis.

Osteosclerosis is a disorder characterized by abnormal hardening of bone and an elevation in bone density. It may predominantly affect the medullary portion and/or cortex of bone. Plain radiographs are a valuable tool for detecting and classifying osteosclerotic disorders. It can manifest in localized or generalized osteosclerosis. Localized osteosclerosis can be caused by Legg–Calvé–Perthes disease, sickle-cell disease and osteoarthritis among others. Osteosclerosis can be classified in accordance with the causative factor into acquired and hereditary.

Sclerostin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SOST gene. It is a secreted glycoprotein with a C-terminal cysteine knot-like (CTCK) domain and sequence similarity to the DAN (differential screening-selected gene aberrative in neuroblastoma) family of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) antagonists. Sclerostin is produced primarily by the osteocyte but is also expressed in other tissues, and has anti-anabolic effects on bone formation.

Nonunion is permanent failure of healing following a broken bone unless intervention (such as surgery) is performed. A fracture with nonunion generally forms a structural resemblance to a fibrous joint, and is therefore often called a "false joint" or pseudoarthrosis (from Greek pseudo-, meaning false, , meaning joint, and -osis, meaning abnormal condition). The diagnosis is generally made when there is no healing between two sets of medical imaging, such as X-ray or CT scan. This is generally after 6–8 months.

human disease

Pachydermoperiostosis (PDP) is a rare genetic disorder that affects both bones and skin. Other names are primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy or Touraine-Solente-Golé syndrome. It is mainly characterized by pachyderma (thickening of the skin), periostosis (excessive bone formation) and finger clubbing (swelling of tissue with loss of normal angle between nail and nail bed).
