Clinical osteology is now an independent specialty which nevertheless
encompasses all branches of medicine and effects each and every one of
us: Bone is Every Body´s Business: This book has been designed as an
up-to-date manual to deal with the currently recognized indications for
bisphosphonates, to outline situations and conditions for prevention of
skeletal disorders, and to provide practical guidelines for treatment.
It is intended for doctors who seek precise information on
bisphosphonates in medical practice to enable them to treat patients
with disorders of bone or better still to avoid their occurrence - as
the age-old saying has it prevention is better than cure! Significant
advances have already been made in the first six years of the Bone and
Joint Decade of the new century. It is hoped that this book will
contribute to further progress in the same direction.
