summary- Paget’s disease can not be cured.

An uncommon chronic bone illness called Paget's disease of the bones causes excessive and disorganized bone turnover, with excessive bone production and resorption. X-ray and bone scanning can be used to diagnose it. Early detection of the disease can reduce complications. It is curable with the use of medication and surgery.
