Bone Diseases Your bones help you move, give you shape and support your body.

They are living tissues that rebuild constantly throughout your life. During childhood and your teens, your body adds new bone faster than it removes old bone. After about age 20, you can lose bone faster than you make bone. To have strong bones when you are young, and to prevent bone loss when you are older, you need to get enough calcium, vitamin D and exercise. There are many kinds of bone problems:

y Low bone density and osteoporosis, which make your bones weak and more likely to break y Osteogenesis imperfecta makes your bones brittle y Paget's disease of bone makes them weak y Bone disease can make bones easy to break y Bones can also develop cancer and infections y Other bone diseases are caused by poor nutrition, genetic factors or problems with the rate of bone growth or rebuilding

Cast Treatment

Most broken bones are treated with a cast. Sometimes the broken bone will need to be reset to improve the position, while other times the break is not out of position and only protection is needed. Either way, casts are often used for broken bone treatment.

Surgical Treatment

Surgery is sometimes needed for treatment of a broken bone. The usual reasons that surgery is recommended for treatment of a broken bone are either if the bones cannot be adequately aligned or if the broken bone cannot be held in place with a cast.
