In the typical complete cases similar soften-ing involves the other bones of the skeleton, while marked deformities occurabout the joints, and the shafts of the long bones become more or less bent, theresult being a crippling of the entire body, which may be partially or completelydisabling. The puerperal forms are, as a rule, more rapid in course than theso-called spontaneous or non-puerperal, the latter beginning most often in thevertebral column. Somewhat different is the clinical type of cases which are more entitled tothe term fragilitas ossium—cases in which the changes that have taken placeexhibit few or no recognizable features until, with scarcely any violence, a fract-ure, usually of a long bone, takes place, the circumstances attending it first NON-INFLAMMATORY AFFECTIONS OF BONES. 357 calling attention to the unusual frangibility of
