title: [A review of the palaeopathology of bone and joint diseases of the medieval period (author's transl)].
abstract: Diseases of joints and bones, i.e. chronic Arthritits, Ankylosing, Spondylitis, Osteoarthritis are not unusual. One of the most common in bones is Arthritis. The skeletal tuberculosis is a rare finding. A Kyphosis or a collapsed vertebral is not synonymous with spinal tuberkulosis. Femur esp. the Tibia shows often a chronic Periotitis, it is perhaps caused by Lues. Pseudopathological changes are common and have often led to erroneous diagnoses.
