Internal fixation in Paget's disease is often necessary for the management of Pagetic complications. When possible, medical therapy should be attempted prior to surgical consideration, If surgery is required, preoperative treatment with bisphosphonates or calcitonin should be initiated to help reduce intraoperative bleeding. Surgeons should be aware of the increased morbidity and mortality of these patients. Through medical and physical therapy modalities available to all physicians and through the judicious use of surgery in selected cases, the orthopedic surgeon is often able to preserve and restore function in this common disorder.
