Description: Illustrated article details what it is, different types and causes, and treatment. Includes Flash movie and xrays.
Osteomalacia means "soft bones". Osteoid is the bone protein matrix, composed primarily of type 1 collagen. When there is insufficient mineral or osteoblast dysfunction, the osteoid does not mineralize properly, and it accumulates. The unmineralized osteoid has consistency similar to the tip of the nose, instead of the normal hard bone in the bridge of the nose.
