The regular cycle of bone renewal is thrown off by Paget's disease of the bones, which results in weakened and possibly misshapen bones. In the UK, it's a pretty prevalent condition, especially in older individuals. In persons under 50, it is uncommon.

Paget's disease of the bones has an enigmatic origin. The condition may be caused by a combination of hereditary and environmental factors, according to scientists. A number of genes seem to be connected to developing the condition. Patients with Paget disease should be treated with bisphosphonates as the first line of treatment.

The cancellous bone of an epiphysis or metaphysis is where Paget's disease typically starts. In a small number of cases, the anterior subperiosteal region of the proximal half of the tibia, as well as a diaphysis, are the first sites to get implicated.
