Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Paget disease is a condition in which the normal bone remodeling process becomes disrupted, leading to episodes of both excessive bone resorption and excessive bone growth. This results in weakened, misshapen bones that are prone to fractures. Rickets is a condition in which bones become soft and weak due to a deficiency in vitamin D or calcium. Osteomalacia is a similar condition in which bones become weak and brittle due to a lack of mineralization. Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones become thin and fragile due to a loss of bone mass. None of these conditions involve the "frenzied" bone resorption and growth seen in Paget disease.
