Theropod paleopathology is the study of injury and disease in theropod dinosaurs. In 2001, Ralph E. Molnar published a survey of pathologies in theropod dinosaur bone that uncovered pathological features in 21 genera from 10 theropod families. Pathologies have been seen on most theropod body parts, with the most common sites of preserved injury and disease being the ribs and tail vertebrae.[1] The least common sites of preserved pathology are the weight-bearing bones like the tibia, femur and sacrum.[2] Most pathologies preserved in theropod fossils are the remains of injuries, but infections and congenital deformities have also been documented.[1] Pathologies are less frequently documented in small theropods, although this may simply be because the larger bones of correspondingly larger animals would be more likely to fossilize in the first place.[3]
