M85.9: Disorder of bone density and structure, unspecified

Disorder of bone density and structure, unspecified, is a medical condition that refers to an abnormal or unspecified change in the structure and density of the bones. This condition affects the hardness and strength of bones, potentially making them more susceptible to fractures and breaks. Various factors may bring about these alterations, like aging, hormonal changes, lack of Vitamin D or calcium, or certain other medical conditions or medications. Symptoms may not be noticeable until a sudden strain, bump, or fall causes a bone to break. People affected by this condition might also experience a gradual decrease in height or changes in posture over time. Progression of this disorder can lead to serious complications like chronic pain, decreased physical ability, and in severe cases, disability, hence early detection and management are crucial.
