Skeletal disorders refer to a range of conditions that affect the bones and joints in the body. These disorders can lead to pain, deformity, and impaired movement. Common examples include osteoporosis, where bones become weak and brittle, and arthritis, which causes inflammation and stiffness in the joints. These conditions can result from various factors, including genetics, age, and lifestyle choices. Diagnosis often involves imaging tests like X-rays or MRIs, while treatment may include medications, physical therapy, or surgery. Early detection and management are crucial for improving quality of life and maintaining mobility.
