AB A  study  of  bone  metabolism  and  its  abnormalities  (Chapter  67:  Diseases  of  Bones)  should  include  a  review  of  vitamin  D  metabolism  (see  Chapter  10:  Nutritional  Diseases)  and  the  parathyroid  glands  (see  Chapter  59:  The  Parathyroid  Glands).  Bone  fractures  are  a  common  consequence  of  trauma.  Bacterial  infections  and  neoplasms  of  bone  are  discussed  in  Chapter  67:  Diseases  of  Bones.  Degenerative  joint  diseases,  particularly  osteoarthrosis  (Chapter  68:  Diseases  of  Joints  &  Connective  Tissue),  are  a  common  cause  of  disability  in  elderly  persons.  Many  inflammatory  diseases  of  joints  and  connective  tissue  have  their  basis  in  immunologic  hypersensitivity  (see  Chapter  8:  Immunologic  Injury).  Neoplasms  of  connective  tissue  are  considered  in  general  here;  many  of  the  specific  neoplasms  have  been  discussed  in  other  chapters,  eg,  vascular  neoplasms  in  Chapter  20:  The  Blood  Vessels  and  peripheral-nerve  and  skeletal-muscle  neoplasms  in  Chapter  66:  The  Peripheral  Nerves  &  Skeletal  Muscle.
