Paget’s bone disease

Paget’s bone disease represents an abnormality in the physiological process by which the body over time gradually replaces old bone tissue with newly produced bone tissue. This process can become faster by causing weakening of bones, which become brittle and can easily deform, as in the disease happens to the skull, pelvis, legs, or spine, which are the areas most affected by the disease.

If other family members complain of this disorder, the risk of being affected becomes more substantial, which can also be aided by age, and whose complications include broken bones, crushed nerves compressed by the spine, and hearing loss.
