Here is a list of diseases of bones, bone infections, and developmental abnormalities of

bones:

Diseases of Bones:

1. Osteoporosis: A condition characterized by weakened bones, making them more

prone to fractures.
2. Osteoarthritis: A degenerative joint disease that affects the cartilage and
underlying bone.
3. Rheumatoid Arthritis: An autoimmune disorder that primarily affects the joints,
including the bones.
4. Paget's Disease of Bone: A condition in which bone remodeling is disrupted,
leading to abnormally shaped and weak bones.
5. Osteogenesis Imperfecta: A genetic disorder that results in brittle bones and
frequent fractures.
6. Ankylosing Spondylitis: A type of inflammatory arthritis that primarily affects
the spine and can lead to fusion of the vertebrae.
7. Gout: A form of inflammatory arthritis caused by the accumulation of uric acid
crystals in the joints, often affecting the bones in the foot.
8. Fibrous Dysplasia: A rare bone disorder in which fibrous tissue replaces normal
bone, weakening the affected areas.
9. Avascular Necrosis: Also known as osteonecrosis, it's the death of bone tissue
due to a lack of blood supply.
10. Bone Cancer: Various types of cancer can originate in the bones, such as
osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma.

Bone Infections:

1. Osteomyelitis: An infection in the bone, typically caused by bacteria, which can

lead to bone destruction.
2. Septic Arthritis: An infection of the joint, which can involve the adjacent bones.
3. Chronic Recurrent Multifocal Osteomyelitis (CRMO): An inflammatory bone
condition often found in children and adolescents.

Developmental Abnormalities of Bone:

1. Achondroplasia: A genetic disorder that leads to dwarfism due to abnormal

cartilage and bone development.
2. Osteopetrosis: A group of rare inherited disorders characterized by abnormally
dense bone, leading to brittle bones and other complications.
3. Polydactyly: A condition where a person is born with extra fingers or toes.
4. Cleft Palate: While primarily a facial developmental abnormality, it can
sometimes be associated with craniofacial bone abnormalities.
5. Craniosynostosis: A condition where the sutures (fibrous joints) in a baby's skull
close prematurely, leading to head deformities.
6. Clubfoot: A congenital deformity of the foot bones, causing the foot to be
turned inward and downward.
