1. Osteoporosis - bone are weak and brittle and are prone to break easily.

2. Osteoarthritis - Occurs when the cartilage that acts as a cushion between bones breaks down and causes the bones to rub together which can cause pain and inflammation.

3. Osteomyelitis - an infection that causes inflammation of the bone.

4. Paget’s Disease - Disorder where bone renewal process occurs too quickly and leads to bone deformities.

5. Osteonecrosis - results when blood flow to the bone is disrupted. Without blood, bone tissue dies.
