Abstract
Metabolic bone diseases encompass a group of disorders characterized by abnormalities in bone metabolism, structure, or mineralization. These disorders negatively impact overall health and quality of life and place individuals at high risk for fracture, which may increase morbidity and mortality. Clinicians should understand who is at risk for these disorders, select individuals who warrant further workup, determine appropriate laboratory and imaging evaluation, interpret results in a clinical context, and choose an optimal management strategy based on the individual patient.
