Osteochondropathy refers to a disease ("-pathy") of the bone and cartilage. It more commonly refers to diseases of bones and cartilage.
- chondropathy (disease of the cartilage)
- A bone disease is also called an "osteopathy"
Common diseases[edit]
Here is a list of common diseases of the bone, cartilage and joints.
Fibrous Dysplasia[edit]
Fibrous Dysplasia happens when healthy bone is replaced with other types of tissue. Bones may become weak or oddly shaped, or they may even break.
Marfan Syndrome[edit]
It is a disorder that affects connective tissue, which supports many parts of your body. Marfan syndrome is often a genetic disease.
Osteogenesis Imperfecta[edit]
Osteogenesis imperfecta is a genetic disease, also called brittle bone disease, that causes bones to be weak and break easily.
Osteonecrosis[edit]
Osteonecrosis is a bone disease in which the bone begins to die and collapse. Find out the symptoms and goals of treatment.
Osteopetrosis[edit]
It is a rare disorder that causes bones to grow abnormally and become too dense. When this happens, bones can break easily.
Osteoporosis[edit]
It is a disease in which your bones become weak and are more likely to break. There are no symptoms until a bone breaks.
Paget’s Disease of Bone[edit]
It is a disorder that causes bones to grow too large and weaken. You can have Paget’s disease in any bones in your body.
Scoliosis[edit]
It is a disorder causing a sideways curve of the spine. Curves are often S- or C-shaped. In most people, there is no known cause for this curve.
Spinal Stenosis[edit]
It is the narrowing of the spine. This narrowing puts pressure on the spinal cord and nerves and can cause pain.
Other diseases of bones and joints[edit]
Back Pain[edit]
Back pain is one of the most common medical problems in the United States. It can range from a dull, constant ache to sudden, sharp pain that makes it hard to move.
Bursitis[edit]
What is bursitis? It is a common condition that causes swelling and pain around muscles and bones.
Fibromyalgia[edit]
The exact causes of fibromyalgia is not known.
Sprains and Strains[edit]
A sprain is an injury to a ligament (tissue that connects bones). A strain is an injury to a muscle or tendon (cords of tissue connecting muscle to bone).
Tendinitis[edit]
What is tendinitis? It is swelling and pain in a joint usually caused by repeated injuries to a tendon, the part of the joint that connects muscles to bones.
