M89.3: Hypertrophy of bone
Hypertrophy of bone is a medical condition characterized by the abnormal enlargement or overgrowth of a bone in the human body. It can occur in any bone due to various causes including inflammation, injury, or certain underlying health disorders. Although it can affect people at any age, some conditions leading to bone hypertrophy are more common in certain age groups. The condition might be asymptomatic initially, but as it progresses, patients might experience discomfort, pain, reduced mobility, or deformity, depending on the affected bone. The progression of bone hypertrophy varies greatly depending upon the cause and the overall health of the individual. The symptoms could gradually deteriorate or remain stable for a long duration. The exact diagnosis is usually made with the help of radiographic imaging that identifies the increased size of the affected bone.
