Explanation:
The expression تآكل العظام is a popular term, not used in scientific circles. Most people use it in the sense of "osteoporosis," as is clear in this news story:

http://news.masrawy.com/masrawynews/23012003/117732news.htm

Formal expressions for bone problems include the following:

osteoporosis: تخلخل العظام أو مسامية العظام أو ترقق العظام

osteolysis: انحلال العظام

osteodystrophy: حثل العظام

osteomalacia: لين العظام أو تلين العظام

osteopsathyrosis: هشاشة العظام أو التكون الناقص للعظام
