[X-ray morphology of osteodystrophia deformans Paget (author's transl)]

Osteodystrophia deformans Paget is a frequent and localised disease of the skeleton in elderly persons. The x-ray morphology of the disease is not uniform. It depends on the site at the skeleton, on the design of the affected bone, and on the stage and course of the disease. Basing on 71 own observations, the various types of manifestation are discussed and both their characteristic and non-typical pattern explained. Attention is drawn to the complications which can result from involvement of the individual parts of the skeleton.
