After a short introduction dealing with the orthopaedic problems of Paget's disease, six patients are reported with pathological fractures due to this disease, which is rare in The Netherlands. Rigid fixation with osteosynthesis is the treatment of choice. In cases in which substantial bowing of the bone exists, a corrective osteotomy is advisable.
