Melorheostosis

Melorheostosis is a rare disease that is characterized by the proliferation of bone tissue in certain areas of the skeleton. It can affect a variety of bones, including the femur, humerus, ulna, and other bones.

Symptoms of melorheostosis may include pain, swelling, stiffness, and limited movement in the affected area. In some cases, bone fractures may occur due to increased fragility.

The causes of melorheostosis are not fully understood, but it is believed that it may be related to genetic factors or metabolic disorders.

Treatment for melorheostosis may include medication, physical therapy, surgery, and other methods.
