Rickets is a
constitutional disease characterized by bony changes (thickening in some parts as
e.g. at the lower end of the leg and arm bones; softening in other parts owing
to the deficiency of mineral phosphates, with resulting deformities.
In rickets the
bones become soft and prone to fractures followed by deformity.
