Q

Osteopetrosis pathogenesis

A

Inherited defect in osteoclastic reabsorption
Increased thickness of bone (osteoscleriosis) bones become brittle and prone to fracture

Q

Chondrodysplasia

A

Or chondrodystrophy
Inherited defect of growth plate cartilage (physis & articular epiphyseal cartilage complex)
Premature growth plate closure, shortens long bones but normal width

Q

Why is width normal in long bones w chondrodysplastic dwarfs?

A

Width is due to growth in intramembranal ossification
Length growth is due to growth plates in bone

Q

Mechanisms of osetochondrosis

A

Multi factorial - very complex
Genetics, rapid growth, vascular factors!! Traumatic injury
Common in pigs bc the breed has been selected to grow very fast

Q

Lesions of osteochondrosis

A

Retention of cartilage - failure of mineralization, invaded blood vessels

16
Q

Pathogens of OC manifesta

A

Visible lesion in zone of mineralization

17
Q

Pathogens of OC dissecans

A

Flap of cartilage is cut off from synovial fluid and dies, falling off bone /AC

18
Q

Wobblers syndrome

A

Cervical vertebral stenotic myelopathy

19
Q

Cervical vertebral stenotic myelopathy

A

Common in horses & dogs - presents differently
Due to abnormal development of cervical vertebra

20
Q

Static cervical vertebral stenotic myelopathy

A

Compression of spinal cord 24/7
Discs C5-6, 6-7

21
Q

Dynamic cervical vertebral stenotic myelopathy

A

Compression can change during flexion/extension
Discs C3-4, 4-5
Associated w osteochondrosis of the cervical facets
(Facet = articulating portion of vert bodies)

22
Q

Developmental abnormalities in bones

A

Osteopetrosis
Craniomandibular osteopathy
Chondrodysplasia
Osteochondrosis
Cervical vertebral stenotic myelopathy

23
Q

Metabolic bone diseases

A

Osteoporosis
Osteopenia
Fibrous osteodystrophy

24
Q

Osteoporosis

A

Reduction in bone density = easily fractured

25
Q

Osteopenia

A

Reduction in bone mass with no clinical disease

26
Q

Causes of osteoporosis

A

Malnutrition
Immobilization
Dietary calcium deficiency
Senile osteoporosis
Excess glucocorticoids

27
Q

Fibrous osteodystrophy

A

Called rubber jaw
Excessive resorption of bone that’s replaced w fibrous connective tissue

28
Q

Common trigger for rubber jaw

A

Fibrous osteodystrophy
Osteoclastic resorption in response to hyperparathyroidism

29
Q

Primary hyperparathyroidism

A

Parathyroid hyperplasia, neoplasia - rare

30
Q

Secondary hyperparathyroidism

A

Nutritional imbalance- hyperphophatemia
High phosphorus, low calcium
Renal - decreased renal excretion of phos

31
Q

Function of PTH in fibrous osteodysplasia

A

Increased PTH -> binds to osteoblasts, release blasts from surface of bone, stimulate osteoclastic resorption = increased fibrous proliferation

32
Q

Relation of PTHrP in fibrous osteodysplasia

A

PTH related peptide - analog of PTH, made in neoplastic cells
Triggered by AGASACA & lymphoma
Can lead to paraneoplastic hypercalcemia
