Bone Pathology is a combined effort from authors of different specialties including surgeons, pathologists, radiologists and basic scientists all of whom have in common an interest in bone diseases.

Editorial Reviews

Review

From the reviews of the second edition:

“This is the second, retitled, edition of A Compendium of Skeletal Pathology published in 2000. … useful for biologists with an interest in bone and cartilage development for comparative study of the pathological skeletal changes associated with various animal models. … the book will be of great value to pathology residents and practicing pathologists, skeletal radiologists, orthopedic surgeons, medical students, and molecular biologists.” (Danny Chan, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 303 (11), March, 2010)

“This book is an extension of a first edition Compendium of skeletal pathology. It is a multi-author one since 32 clinicians pathologists and researchers collaborated in the preparation of the text. … this book is interesting for the orthopaedic surgeon the radiologist the oncologist and the surgical pathologist.” (H. Roels, Acta Clinica Belgica, Vol. 65 (4), 2010)
