A medical condition where bone grows into or replaces cartilage or other tissue inside the body; the formation of bone in abnormal locations.
From Greek 'en' (in), 'osteon' (bone), and '-osis' (condition of), literally meaning 'the condition of bone forming/growing inside.'
Enostosis shows how your skeleton can betray you—extra bone can grow where it shouldn't, potentially limiting movement or causing pain, and it reveals how dynamic your bones actually are throughout life.
