Sažetak
Evidence of disease was analyzed from the skeletal remains of 11 individuals dating
to the post-Medieval period from church cemetery of St. Ilija in Serbia. Two individuals
showed pathological condition affecting joints. It was supposed that first individual
had been suffering from Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease. It seems that this condition remained
untreated, with extensive bone remodeling, and that the deformity of femoral
head and acetabulum caused secondary degenerative joint disease at a relatively early
age of this individual. Second case was related to the bony akylosis of the hand finger,
probably caused by Dupuytren’s disease. In addition, we discussed development of differential
diagnosis in both pathological conditions.
