merus (No. 104: Fig. 28), radius (No. 141,216, 285, 408), ulna (No 141, 275, 408, 433) and on a metacarpus (No. 105). Therefore it may be concluded that fractures of women were limited to the bones of the trunk and upper limbs. Multiple fractures were observed in the case of four men (No. 85, 106, 230, 418) and four women (No. 104, 141, 285, 408). In all cases, fractures occurred more often on the left side man on the right side of the skeleton. Arthrotic deformations Several degrees of spondylosis and spondylarthrosis were diagnosed on the vertebral columns of 41 men and 20 women. Joint deformations in the upper limb occurred in 3 men, while the same condition was observed in the lower limb of 8 men and 4 women. Arthropathies affecting the entire skeleton were diagnosed in 2 men and a woman. Possible cases of this disorder were observed in two men (No. 203: Figs 36-37 and No. 4) in the form of deformations on the right caput femoris and the corresponding pelvic acetabulum. The same symptom was observed on the left pelvic acetabulum of a woman, in this case the femur was not recovered (No. 346). Marginal disc hernia The probable evidence for this condition is the osteoporosis accompanied by lipping on the ventral side of the corpus in five lumbar vertebrae in a 32-36 year old man (No. 368). Lipping occurred well below the original edge of the articulaisurface (Fig. 39). Similar deformations were discovered on the second lumbar vertebra of a 17-18 year old man (No. 414) and on one of the lumbar vertebra of a 30-34 year old man (No. 425). Ankylosis Ankyloses in men effected two cervical (No. 219) and two thoracic vertebrae (No. 252). In two cases two thoracic vertebrae (No. 392, 403) as well as a left talus and calcaneus (No. 20) fused among women. In the case of children, two thoracic (No. 34) and two cervical (No. 401) vertebrae were affected.
