Introduction:
Welcome to Sree Manju Hospitals' insightful exploration of the top 10 bone disorders.
Bones are the structural framework of our bodies. They constantly remodelled throughout life to maintain strength and integrity. But there's a villain called bone disorder. A bone disorder is a medical condition affecting bone structure, durability, or function.
Globally, bone disorders impact millions, with approximately 200 million people affected by osteoporosis alone, disproportionately affecting women. It translates to about 1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men over 50 experiencing osteoporotic fractures worldwide.
We will delve into the ten most common disorders affecting bones, shedding light on their symptoms, and treatments.
