Osteomalacia is a metabolic bone disease characterized by incomplete mineralization of bone due to deficiencies in calcium or phosphate, often linked to vitamin D deficiency. It presents with symptoms such as bone pain, muscle weakness, and skeletal deformities, and is diagnosed through clinical examination and radiological findings.
