Abstract
Paget's disease of bone is a common geriatric disorder of skeletal remodeling, which may have a viral etiology. Safe and effective treatments are now available for associated complications of symptomatic involvement. The orthopaedic surgeon should have a fundamental understanding of the complications of Paget's disease and should be familiar with the indications for treatment, as well as available medical and surgical therapies.
