I highly reccomend this book. This book divided into several short chapters providing concise reviews on basic science and clinical diseases of bone. The book is well written and has many useful tables. This book is the official primer published by the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research. It is writen by many intenationally known scientists in the field of bone and mineral research. It is a book that belongs to any physician caring for patients with bone diseases not limited to osteoporosis.

This review is from: Primer on the Metabolic Bone Diseases And Disorders of Mineral Metabolism, 6th edition (Paperback)

I've been purchasing this primer each time new edition comes out and it has become major source of reference in topics of metabolic bone disease for me. Topics covered are comprehensive yet the coverage is concise and to the point most of the time. I think the book has become a classic textbook in the field of metabolic bone diseases. I know I will be waiting for the 7th edition.
