Bone diseases

Bone disease refers to the medical conditions which affect the bone.

Terminology

A bone disease is also called an "osteopathy", but because the term osteopathy is often used to refer to an alternative health-care philosophy, use of the term can cause some confusion.

Bone and cartilage disorders

Osteochondrodysplasia is a general term for a disorder of the development of bone and cartilage.
