The human skeletal system serves as the structural framework of our bodies, providing support, protection, and mobility. Bones are dynamic and living tissues that undergo constant remodeling throughout our lives. However, various factors can disrupt the normal processes of bone formation, maintenance, and resorption, leading to a wide array of bone pathologies. These disorders can have significant implications for an individual's health and quality of life. This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of bone pathology, discussing common disorders, their causes, symptoms, diagnostic methods, and available treatment options. Before delving into the intricacies of bone pathology, it is essential to understand the basics of bone development and physiology.
