Back 33

degenerative condition of bone or cartilage characterized by unusual hardness and a polished appearance

Front 34

osteoporosis

Back 34

a disorder in which the bones become increasingly porous, brittle, and subject to fracture, owing to loss of calcium and other mineral components, sometimes resulting in pain, decreased height, and skeletal deformities

Front 35

osteomalacia
