  Osteitis deformans and osteopathies associated with other disorders classified elsewhere- 731 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis
  Osteitis deformans without bone tumor- A disease marked by repeated episodes of increased bone resorption followed by excessive attempts at repair, resulting in weakened, deformed bones of increased mass. The resultant architecture of the bone assumes a mosaic pattern in which the fibers take on a haphazard pattern instead of the normal parallel symmetry.
- Paget's Disease is a disease of bone that initially results in the excessive resorption of bone (by osteoclasts) followed by the replacement of normal bone marrow with vascular and fibrous tissue. (On-line Medical Dictionary)
