The book is divided into three sections. The first section covers
the components of the organic extracellular matrix of bone and cartilage
and includes a detailed discussion of collagen and growth factors. The
second section is devoted to the structure and metabolism of the
extracellular matrix, including the cells and the matrix and hormones
regulating bone and cartilage. The third section addresses markers
of bone and cartilage metabolism in normal individuals and in those
who have common diseases, such as osteoporosis, osteomalacia, rheumatoid
arthritis, osteoarthritis, and growth disorders. The Basic Science
book and the Orthopaedic Knowledge Updates produced by the American
Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons contain only brief mention of the
underlying pathophysiology of bone and cartilage diseases, whereas the
current book offers a broad discussion of the full pathophysiology
of common musculoskeletal disorders.
