M80-M94: Osteopathies and chondropathies
M80-M85: Disorders of bone density and structure
Disorders of bone density and structure are a group of conditions that affect the strength of the bones and their ability to support the body. These include conditions like osteoporosis, which causes the bones to become weak and brittle, making them more likely to break. These conditions can occur for a variety of reasons, such as aging, hormonal changes, or lack of calcium or vitamin D. Common symptoms may include back pain, loss of height over time, and a stooped posture. Over time, these conditions can progress to cause serious complications, such as fractures or deformities. These disorders primarily impact the musculoskeletal system, which includes the bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments.
