Hyperostosis (Hyperostosis)

Hyperostosis is a condition in which the cortical bone layer grows. Although hyperostosis may sound scary, it is actually a completely harmless condition for humans and is usually detected only with the help of an x-ray examination.

Hyperostosis can appear on different bones of the body and have a different nature. For example, hyperostosis is often observed on the frontal bone and is called frontal hyperostosis (hyperostosis frontalis). This condition usually occurs in older people and may be associated with age-related changes in bone tissue.

With hyperostosis, there is an increase in bone density, which can lead to thickening of the cortical layer. This condition may be due to various reasons, such as metabolic disorders, genetic factors, infections and others. But as a rule, hyperostosis does not cause any symptoms and does not require treatment.

Hyperostosis may be discovered incidentally during an x-ray examination, such as when testing for other bone diseases or when testing for other diseases. In some cases, hyperostosis may be associated with other diseases, such as pathological bone fractures or Paget's disease.

In general, hyperostosis is a condition that does not require treatment and does not have any effect on a person's health. However, if you notice signs of hyperostosis, you should consult a doctor for consultation and professional medical advice.



Hyperostosis is the growth of bone tissue (osteosclerosis) beyond the physiological limit when the primary shape of the bone changes; this process can occur either in all parts of the skull, or only in one. With physical inactivity and arthritis, deforming hyperostic hyperplastic spondylosis develops. Deforming hyperophic hyperplastic spondylosis is secondary to degenerative-dystrophic lesions of the spine. The development of spondylosis is most common in older people. 75% of older people already have signs of thoracic spondylosis. Those who continue to work actively even after 50 years, in most cases, experience not just osteochondrosis, but complete or partial replacement of intervertebral cartilage with altered bone. After
