"Bone remodeling is a dynamic, lifelong process in which old bone is removed from the skeleton and new bone is added. It consists of two distinct stages–resorption and formation–that involve the activity of
special cells called osteoclasts and osteoblasts. Usually, the removal and formation of bone are in balance and maintain skeletal strength and integrity.

bone turnover


Explanation:
My medical dictionary says either bone remodelling as Lianne suggested or otherwise bone turnover, which also gets quite a lot of hits on Google in combination with tumours.
