Oxford Textbook of Clinical and Biochemical Disorders of the
Skeleton 2 is a definitive reference providing comprehensive
coverage of common polygenic and rare monogenic disorders,
emphasizing new advances in bone cell biology and human skeletal
disease. With an up-to-date account of common and rare metabolic
disorders of the skeleton, including their causes, clinical
aspects, and treatment, this book offers the reader clarity in the
complex field of the molecular biology of the skeleton. Topics
covered include bone biology and investigation, osteoporosis,
osteomalacia and rickets, parathyroid bone disease, Paget disease,
and the effects of malignancy on the skeleton. Newer metabolic bone
disorders are also included, along with chapters on osteogenesis
imperfecta, skeletal dysplasias, osteopetrosis and osteosclerosis,
Marfan syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, fibrous dysplasia, and
ectopic mineralisation. Essential for postgraduates and clinicians,
this accessible and highly illustrated book provides a clear
authoritative account of metabolic bone diseases in their widest
sense. Bringing together considerable advances in the field, it
discusses molecular causes and personal experiences of all
disorders, ensuring a comprehensive and didactic reference.
Enriched with over 100 new illustrations and revised chapters to
reflect a rapidly developing field, this second edition will be
indispensable for those who look after patients with metabolic bone
disease, including general physicians, rheumatologists,
endocrinologists, and orthopaedic surgeons, along with
paediatricians and geneticists. This print edition of The Oxford
