Cortical bone fissures in Paget's disease develop on the convex surfaces of the femur or tibia. They may be present in large numbers, but this is not related to the degree of diaphysial curvature. The presenting symptom is pain. The course is usually towards recovery though a total fracture may rarely occur. Degeneration is never observed.
