Bone disease refers to the medical conditions which affect the bone.
Terminology
A bone disease is also called an "osteopathy", but because the term osteopathy is often used to refer to an alternative health-care philosophy, use of the term can cause some confusion.
Bone and cartilage disorders
Osteochondrodysplasia is a general term for a disorder of the development of bone and cartilage.
