If at some future period an anatomical investigation shall corroborate view as to this growth of bone, it will be, as far as I know, theonly instance of ossification of muscle which has been observed in this verycurious disease. The anatomical changes just noticed show only a distant resemblanceto those of arthritis deformans ; the predominance of wearing away, the comparatively slight production of osteophytes,Fig. 673. and the tendency to complete luxation, mark a very real difference. If the knee here represented () be compared with a like articulation affectedwith arthritis deformans, there can be no con-fusing the two diseases, even though some amountof marginal hyperplasia is to be traced about the Fig.
