The hypertrophy is caused by a de-position of bone beneath the periosteum of the meta-carpal and metatarsal bones, the phalanges and the distal ex-tremities of the adjoining bones of the arms and legs. Lessoften the area of the disease is more extensive, involving thefemora, the humeri, and the sjDine even.
