The book is divided into four parts. The first three parts are
devoted to the molecular and cellular environment of bone, the determinants
of peak bone mass, and the pathophysiology of the aging skeleton.
These sections explore the basic science of bone physiology very
well and will be useful to any orthopaedic surgeon who is interested
in this area. There is excellent material on osteoblast and osteoclast
function, parathyroid-hormone and vitamin-D metabolism, and the
genetics of osteoporosis. This is a comprehensive basic-science
review, but it may be of only modest value to the clinician seeking guidelines
for diagnosis and treatment.
