FRACTURES IN PAGET'S DISEASE
MARK H. ROGERS M.D. and
ROBERT ULIN M.D.
1. In spite of the gross thickening of the long bones in Paget's disease, there is a definite tendency to fracture, which is generally caused by slight trauma.
2. There is a definite loss of sensation of pain, so that these fractures can be easily handled.
3. There is an early appearance of callus and new bone formation.
