M86-M90: Other osteopathies

M89: Other disorders of bone

The group of conditions known as "Other disorders of bone" encompasses a variety of medical conditions that affect the physical structure and health of the bones. These disorders are multifaceted in nature and origin, often resulting from factors like physical injury, genetic predisposition, metabolic imbalances, or infections. Symptoms common to these conditions typically include chronic or recurrent bone pain, tenderness, decreased mobility, and sometimes visible deformity. These disorders usually progress gradually, slowly affecting the normal functioning of the skeletal system, potentially resulting in greater impact on overall mobility and strength over time. They tend to affect the bones in any part of the body, from those found in limbs to the ones in the spine or the skull. The severity, progression, and impact of these disorders can vary significantly from one person to the next, shaped by individual health factors.
