Idiopathic juvenile osteoporosis

An uncommon type of osteoporosis characterized by diminished bone density, observed in children aged eight to 14. Idiopathic juvenile osteoporosis manifests through discomfort in the legs and back, kyphosis (curvature of the upper spine), challenges in walking, and heightened vulnerability to fractures. Typically, this condition commences abruptly and frequently resolves naturally within a span of two to four years. The therapeutic focus lies in fracture prevention and preserving mobility.
