Localized osteoporosis (lequesne) is a condition in which bones become weakened and porous due to localized bone loss, usually in the spine, hips, or other joints. it is caused by a decrease in the production of new bone cells, an increase in the breakdown of existing bone, or a combination of both. it is often seen in postmenopausal women and can lead to pain, fractures, and other complications.

What happens during the disease - localized osteoporosis [lequesne]

Localized osteoporosis, also known as lequesne's disease, is a condition characterized by localized bone loss due to decreased bone density. this condition is caused by an imbalance between the rate of bone formation and the rate of bone resorption, resulting in a net decrease in bone mass. this imbalance can be due to a variety of factors, including age-related hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, and certain medications. in addition, localized osteoporosis can be caused by certain medical conditions such as paget's disease or hyperparathyroidism.
