The more frequently occurring bone lesions of leprosy of the foot are described with illustrations from patients with leprosy seen some years previously in Sardinia. These cases are classified into groups depending on the presence of osteoporosis, osteitis, lesions with predominantly inflammatory manifestations, those with a spindle-shaped appearance and lastly those with pathological fractures. The anatomical relationship between cutaneous and bone lesions is outlined.
