Several conditions can affect the health and integrity of trabecular bone, including:
1. Osteoporosis: A condition characterized by reduced bone density and increased fracture risk. Trabecular bone is particularly susceptible to osteoporosis due to its high turnover rate. 2. Osteopenia: A precursor to osteoporosis, where bone mineral density is lower than normal but not low enough to be classified as osteoporosis. 3. Bone Fractures: Trabecular bone is more prone to fractures, especially in areas subjected to high stress, such as the vertebrae and hips. 4. Paget's Disease: A chronic disorder that can result in enlarged and misshapen bones due to abnormal bone remodeling.
