Paget's disease of the bone.
Paget's Disease of the bone is the second most common bone disease affecting the older population. Many of its symptoms are often erroneously attributed to the aging process. Its diagnosis is relatively simple. Means are now available to arrest the progress of the disease and restore a normal bone architecture.
