Which of the following is associated with Osteomalacia?
Correct Answer: Increase in osteoid maturation time
Description: steomalacia is an adult counterpa of rickets. It is primarily due to deficiency of vitamin D. This results in failure to replace the turnover of calcium and phosphorus in the organic matrix of the bone, as a result bone content is demineralised and the bony substance is replaced by soft osteoid tissue. Finally resulting in an increase in osteoid maturation time. Ref: Essential Ohopedics, 3rd Edition By J Maheswari, Pages 264-5.
