Quotation from: Manual of Surgery

Atrophic conditions are also met with, the bones undergoing fatty
atrophy, so that in extreme cases they may be cut with a knife or be
easily fractured. These atrophic conditions are most marked in bedridden
patients, and are largely due to disuse of the limb; they are recovered
from if it is able to resume its functions.


#Clinical Features.#--These vary with the different anatomical forms of
the disease, and with the joint affected.
