i checked out in robbins and maheshwari -and no where could i find most common bone involved .
just that commonly involved bones are -femur ,tibia ,spine ,ribs .

Hey Manpreet,

Papa Robbins Pg 685 quotes " Calvaria, ribs and femur" as the commonest site. If we were to follow the sequence, Skull comes out to be the commonest site but it doesnt rule out femur, ,does it ? !!
