我研究了野生日本猕猴（Macaca fuscata fuscata）的骨骼和关节疾病，以便从骨骼材料中辨别它们生活史的某些方面。这些标本包括 107 具近乎完整的亚成体和成体骨骼，这些骨骼于 1997 年至 1998 年间在日本长野县因破坏庄稼的猴子而被杀死。最常见的疾病是骨折引起的成角畸形：52 名男性中的 31 名有 80 名骨折愈合，55 名女性中有 26 名有 71 名骨折愈合。骨折引起的继发性骨关节炎很少见。两名男性股骨外侧髁后表面双侧有剥脱性骨软骨炎。退行性改变常见于老年人。男性多见躯干骨折，锁骨、肩胛骨、椎骨、肋骨或髋部骨折。相反，女性骨折大部分发生在手和脚。虽然大多数男性骨折似乎发生在成年期，但女性骨折则发生在儿童期和老年期。个体间的暴力不应被视为男性和女性骨折的主要原因，因为除了一例被截肢的情况外，没有被咬伤的伤口。男性躯干骨折可能是由于从陡坡上滚下或从树上掉下来（可能是在部队间转移期间）对肩膀或臀部或两者造成的冲击力造成的。
I studied bone and joint disorders in wild Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata fuscata) in order to discern some aspects of their life history from the skeletal material. The specimens comprise 107 nearly complete skeletons of subadults and adults that were killed as crop-raiding monkeys between 1997 and 1998 in Nagano Prefecture, Japan. The most frequent disorder is angular deformity due to fractures: 80 healed fractures in 31 of 52 males and 71 healed fractures in 26 of 55 females Secondary osteoarthritis due to fractures is rare. Two males have osteochondritis dissecans bilaterally on the posterior surface of the lateral femoral condyles Degenerative changes are common in the aged individuals Fractures of the trunk-clavicle, scapula, vertebrae, ribs or hip-are frequent in the males Contrarily, the majority of fractures in females are in the hands and feet. While most fractures in males appear to have occurred during adulthood, those in females occurred during childhood and senescence. Interindividual violence should not be regarded as a principal cause for fractures in males and females because there is no bite wound except perhaps for one case of an amputated digit. Fractures of the trunk in males were probably caused by impact forces against their shoulders or hips or both caused by rolling down a steep slope or falling out of trees, perhaps during intertroop transfers.
