Summary
Osteomalacia refers to the softening of the bones caused by defective bone mineralization. This may result from inadequate levels of available calcium (like in vitamin D deficiency); or overactive resorption of calcium from bones (like in hyperparathyroidism).
Osteomalacia in children is called rickets. Because of this, the use of the term "osteomalacia" is often restricted to the milder, adult form of the disease. Signs and symptoms can include diffuse body pains, muscle weakness, and fragility of the bones.
The treatment focuses on addressing the underlying causes and may involve administering Vitamin D, correcting Calcium intake, and treating related hormonal disorders.
