Osteitis Fibrosa treatment in Magdalena Contreras

Osteitis fibrosa is a bone disorder in which normal bone tissue is gradually replaced by fibrous tissue, which weakens the bone and favors deformities or fractures. It is usually related to excessive activity of the parathyroid glands.

Common causes: It frequently appears in the context of a prolonged excess of parathyroid hormone, which disrupts the calcium balance in the body.

Common symptoms: Bone pain, tenderness to the touch, weakness, and, in some cases, fractures with minor strain.

Which specialist treats it? Because of its hormonal origin and its effect on the bone, the endocrinologist and the orthopedist usually work together. If you notice persistent bone discomfort, it is advisable to consult a professional in time.
