Paget's disease of bone is a frequent finding in aging bone, with estimates ranging from 2.3 to 9 percent in older patients within affected populations. Paget's disease is a localized disorder of the skeleton characterized by increased osteoclastic activity. While the prevalence in the Western Population is 1-2%, the prevalence in India is still unknown.
In this article, the management of Paget Disease is mentioned. Paget's disease (PDB) is an ancient disease, claimed to be identified in a Neanderthal skull, with scattered reports of skeletal remains throughout history demonstrating this disorganized pattern of bone overgrowth. PDB of bone, also known historically as osteitis deformans, is a focal disorder of bone metabolism that occurs in the aging skeleton; it is characterized by an accelerated rate of bone remodeling, resulting in overgrowth of bone at single (monostotic PDB) or…
