Abstract

This chapter deals with a few of the important childhood bone disorders associated with high bone mass as well as conditions associated with fragility fractures and limb deformities that have not been addressed in previous chapters. A couple of skeletal dysplasias that can sometimes be confused with rickets are also dealt with in this chapter.
