Inherited Disorders of the Skeleton

This book is based upon two decades of experience with more than 3,000 patients with inherited skeleton disorders. The main thrust of the text concerns a comprehensive and critical review of the background of these conditions. An account is given of their salient manifestations and, in many instances, the disorders have been depicted. This second edition has been extensively revised. Many new illustrations have been added and the bibliography updated. A number of new disorders have been delineated since the first edition and these are all included. The work should be of interest to geneticists, paediatricians and orthopaedic surgeons.
