The most common bone disease is?
There are quite a few disease that can affect the bones in your body. I will name the top 3. They are Osteoporosis, Osteogenesis imperfecta, and Paget's disease. A short description of the three are listed below:1.) Osteporosis, is the most commonly known one, this affects people of all ages, but is common in older women. Osteoporosis, as defined by Google Health, is the thinning of bone tissue and loss of bone density, or when the bone simply just gets too old and the body fails to produce enough new bone. 2.) Osteogenesis imperfecta is a condition that causes extremely fragile bones. This disease is known an congenital, meaning it occurs at birth.3.) Paget's Disease is a chronic bone condition that is characterized by disorder of the normal bone remodeling process. This disease is most common in older adults. Paget's Disease is rarely found in children, mainly just adults. Bone diseases may come in different names. But basically, all of it involves the break down or weakening of the bone tissues in the body. there is basically, many bones.The diseases of bones are:Rickets,Osteoporosis,Scolios,Arthritis and Bone Infections.osteoporosis, cancer, osteogenisis imperfecta, Paget's disease, Rickets, osteonecrosis.Heres some of umBone cystBone spur (Osteophytes)Bone tumorCraniosynostosisFibrodysplasia ossificans progressivaFibrous dysplasiaGiant cell tumor of boneHypophosphatasiaKlippel-Feil syndromeMetabolic Bone DiseaseOsteitis deformans (or Paget's disease of bone)Osteitis fibrosa cystica (or Osteitis fibrosa, or Von Recklinghausen's disease of bone)Osteitis pubisCondensing osteitis (or Osteitis condensans)Osteitis condensans iliiOsteochondritis dissecansOsteochondroma (Bone Tumor)Osteogenesis ImperfectaOsteomalaciaOsteomyelitisOsteopeniaOsteopetrosisOsteoporosisOsteosarcoma (Bone Tumor)Porotic hyperostosisPrimary hyperparathyroidismRenal Osteodystrophy
What is the condition in which bone resorption outpaces bone deposition leading to the bone becoming more porous and brittle?
Osteoporosis
Which condition is characterized by extensive bone destruction followed by abnormal bone repair?
Paget's disease. Pagetic bone with an excessively high ratio of woven to compact bone is formed, causing spotty weakness in the Bone. The cause is unknown and may be viral. The disease usually localizes in the spine, pelvis, femur and skull.

What is the medical term meaning bones like glass?
Osteogenesis imperfecta (oste = bone + genesis = to make ++ im = not + perfecta = complete) is also know as "Brittle Bone Disease", "Lobstein Syndrome" and "Glass Bone Disease". It is a genetic disorder present in 1 out of every 20,000 live births. In the USA, there are approximately 20,000 to 50,000 people receiving treatment for this disease.

What is pagets disease?
From MedicineNet.com: " Paget's disease is a chronic bone condition characterized by disorder of the normal bone remodeling process. Normal bone has a synchronized relationship of mechanisms that act to lay down new bone and take up old bone. This relationship (referred to as remodeling) is essential for maintaining the normal calcium levels in our blood. In bone affected by Paget's disease, the bone remodeling is disturbed and not synchronized. As a result, the bone that is formed is abnormal, enlarged, not as dense, brittle, and prone to breakage (fracture). Paget's disease affects older bone of adults. It's estimated that 1% of adults in the U.S. have Paget's disease. There is an extremely rare form of Paget's disease in children, referred to as juvenile Paget's disease. Paget's disease is also known as osteitis deformans." See related links below for the rest of the article.
