Miscellaneous bone disorders.
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, which have not been dealt with in previous chapters. A couple of skeletal dysplasias that can be sometimes be confused with rickets are also dealt with in this chapter. The principal features of the conditions described here are shown in a table. However, a comprehensive review of skeletal dysplasias is beyond the scope of this chapter.
