M89.51: Osteolysis Shoulder region
There has been a loss of bone tissue in your shoulder area.
There are various reasons why a loss of bone tissue can occur. For example, inflammation can cause a loss of bone tissue. Even if other tissue is newly forming in bones, there can be a loss of bone tissue in that area.
If there is a loss of bone tissue in an area, the bones there may become less stable. The bone may then break more easily, for example.
