Melorheostosis

Melorheostosis

Melorheostosis is a rare, non-hereditary bone disorder characterised by abnormal hyperostosis. This condition often affects long bones, leading to pain, limited movement, and joint stiffness. Melorheostosis typically presents in childhood or young adulthood and is diagnosed via imaging, revealing 'flowing' hyperostotic changes. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms and improving quality of life.
