Osteosclerosis, Hyperostosis, and Related Disorders will assist physicians in the evaluation of patients where osteosclerosis and hyperostosis are the predominant radiographic features. Comprehensive in scope, this volume also covers disorders with lesser degrees of osteosclerosis and hyperostosis, and those which exhibit ligamentous calcifications and/or ossifications such as: fluorosis, hypervitaminosis, hypoparathyroidism, and hypophosphatemic rickets. Discussed and reviewed are the salient clinical and radiographic features as well as the pathophysiology of these conditions. In addition, many chapters contain pertinent experimental data that facilitates understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease. This current and comprehensive volume will interest not only physicians who treat patients with osteosclerosis and/or hyperostosis, but also the interested medical researcher and student.
