Cir- cumscribed exostotic enlargements are also frequent, especially in the ribs and the extremities (Frohner oljserved a ringbone develop in rachitis). The weight of the body and the traction of the muscles causes the bones to l)end and become crooked. These distor- tions are most frequent and striking on the extremities which. Fig. 161. Rachitis. Sut+er. The skeleton of tliis ilo^' is shown in Fig. 158, assume various abnormal shapes, such as ''dachshund" legs, knock-knee, bandy-leg, legs Ijent backward, legs like bear's paws (Figs. 161 and 163). The thinner bones, especially those of the metacarpus and the metatarsus are sometimes bent double and may break transversely (Schiitz). Lienaux points out that the Achilles tendon is sometimes torn from its attachment, and this may be the first or even the only sjunptom of the disease. The muscles of the extremities either lose their tension or some of them become contracted and thus cause much pain. The pressure of shoulders and elbows, and also the air pressure cause the middle portions of tlie ribs to be bent in- ward, giving rise on both sides of the thorax to a longitudinal.
