Question 1 of 8Section 2.6 · Musculoskeletal and skin disordersMedium

A 66-year-old man has Paget’s disease of the right femur. The X-ray reports the bone as enlarged and denser than normal, and he asks whether that means it is stronger. Which explanation is correct?A denser bone is a stronger bone, so his risk of fracture is low.The extra bone is laid down in a disorganised pattern, so despite its density the bone is weaker and can bend or break.The density comes from calcium leaving the bone, which softens it.Density on an X-ray reflects the muscle mass around the bone rather than the bone itself.
