Bone Diseases

HSS is the #1 orthopedic hospital in the U.S. and a national leader in rheumatology. This content was created by our physicians and experts.

Bones support the body and the individual muscles that give a person the power to move. Bone is living tissue that regenerates throughout a person's life. After about age 20, people lose more bone tissue than they grow. Exercise and getting enough calcium and vitamin D in the diet are important ways to help maintain healthy bones.
