A system of surgery : pathological, diagnostic, therapeutic, and operative . General syphilitic hypertrophy of the femur ; internal structure. pieces are completely fused together without any trace of suture or of diploe,and their consistence and density are almost equal to those of ivory. Fig. General syphilitic hypertrophy ; external characters. Syphilitic osteopJiiles are occasionally met with, both in the long and the flatbones, presenting themselves in various forms; sometimes as thin, sharp, thorn-like excrescences, and sometimes, again, as flat, irregular, triangular, or knobbyprominences. They are apparently composed of the same material as the bonesfrom which they spring, and not unfrequently exist in great numbers, especiallyin the neighborhood of the larger joints. The periosteum is variously affected in syphilitic diseases of the bones; inthe more inflammatory lesions it is generally very vascular, soft, and spongy,at the same time that it is considerably thickened, and easily detached from thesubjacent surface. In hypertrophy, especially the diffused form, the principalalterations are thickening and induration, with a tendency, here and there, toossification. Instead of being easily separated from the affected bone, as it isin the more acute affections, the memb
