There are two primary types of bone cells – those that build bone and those that remove bone. When the function of these cells is disrupted, it can cause a variety of different metabolic (related to metabolism) bone disorders.
Shriners Children’s provides a variety of services to children with bone disorders caused by nutritional, chemical or glandular problems that are metabolic in nature. These disorders are often genetically transmitted and passed down from generation to generation.
Specific treatments and services may vary by location. Please contact a specific location for more information.
