HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if the disease diagnosed early, and give appropriate supplement of vitamin D and calcium then prognosis would be excellent but will leave the bony defects as it is, only in sever case it may need surgical intervention, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day
