1.osteomalacia - is due to vit D deficiency--hypocalcemia leads to decrease MINERALISATION of bone
2.osteoporosis--- Basically excess H ions from Metabolic acidosis are BUFFERED by bone with LOSS OF BONE MASS.
3.Osteitis fibrosa- from secondary HYPERPARATHYROIDISM from hypocalcemia(hypovit D). Increase RESORPTION of bone (cystic leisons of bone)
