Q

How to calculate probability of fragility fractures for OP patients

A

FRAX tool (for pt over 50)

33
Q

Low FRAX (<5.0)

A

Reassure

34
Q

Moderate FRAX (5-7.5)

A

DEXA

35
Q

High FRAX (>7.5)

A

DEXA + Tx

36
Q

Mx of pt w/ osteopenia

A

Lifestyle advice e.g. stop smoking/alcohol
Increase Ca + exercise
Repeat DEXA scans

37
Q

Medical Mx of established OP

A

Vit D + Ca
Weekly bisphosphonates
Denusomab S/C every 6 months
HRT if pre-mature menopause

38
Q

1st line weekly bisphosphonates - OP

A

Alendronic acid

39
Q

How does alendronic acid work

A

Decreases bone resportion

Allows mineralisation to increase

40
Q

If Alendronic acid is not tolerated, what bisphosphonate is 2nd line?

A

Risdronate

41
Q

What is Denusomab

A

Monoclonal AB that inhibits osteoclast activity

42
Q

SE Aldendronic acid

A

GI/Ulcer

Jaw necrosis

43
Q

What is Osteomalacia

A

Normal bone tissue but inadequate bone mineralisation

44
Q

Cause osteomalacia

A

Vit D deficiency

45
Q

What is Rickets

A

Syndrome resulting from osteomalacia in growing skeleton

46
Q

Deformities in Rickets (2)

A

Knock knee

Bow legs

47
Q

Why does low Vit D lead to loss of Ca and PO4 from bone

A

Norm: Vit D –> Incr Ca uptake from intestines + decr Ca excretion
If Low Ca - PTH secreted –> 2’ hyperPTH
Stims osteoclastic bone resportion, decr Ca excretion _ Incr PO4 excretion

48
Q

RF vit D deficiency (5)

A 
Inadequate intake 
Inadequate synthesis (house bound) 
Renal disease 
Liver  disease 
Drugs
49
Q

PS Osteomalacia

A

Bone pain
Fragility + #
Insidious - malaise + weakness

50
Q

Ix Vit D deficiency/Osteomalacia (+results) (6)

A 
U+E
ALP incr
Plasma Ca - low/norm
Se PO4 = low 
PTH = high 
Se Vit D = low
51
Q

XR features osteomalacia (3)

A

Norm
Or looser zones
Children - widening epiphyseal plate

52
Q

Mx osteomalacia

A

PO VIt D
High dose 4 w then maintenance
Activated vit D if hepatic/renal disease

53
Q

What is the difference between osteoporosis + osteomalacia

A

OP - decr bone mass w/ norm ratio mineral: matrix

OM - Mineral to matrix ratio = decreased

54
Q

Who gets Paget’s disease of hte bone

A

elderly

55
Q

Pathophysiology Paget’s disease of the bone

A

XS uncontrolled resportion of bone by large multinucleated osteoclasts
Destruction of cortical + trabecular bones in waves
Each wave = followed by osteoblastic response

56
Q

Bone changes Pagets

A

XS resorption + destruction –> defective bone architechture w/ incr bone bulk + weaker
New bone is woven, non-lamellar + fibrous

57
Q

What % of Pagets are asymp

A

80%

58
Q

Sx Pagets

A

Waxing + waning bone pain
Bone deformities
CN palsy
Cardiac failure

59
Q

Skull

62
Q

Which other condition does Pagets greatly (x30) increase your risk of developing?

A

Osteogenic Sarcoma

63
Q

Ix Pagets (5)

A 
Bloods
ALP - incr
Ca/PO4 norm
Urine: incr Hydroxyproline

Bone Scan
64
Q

Monitor Se ALP

65
Q

When is surgery indicated in Paget’s Tx (2)

A

Joint disease

Neuro complications

66
Q

What is osteonecrosis

A

Ischaemic bone necrosis

Due to BM cells dying within 12hrs

67
Q

What is osteonecrosis called if in the shaft

A

Bone infarction

68
Q

What is osteonecrosis called in the epiphysis of the bone

A

Avascular necrosis

69
Q

Common causes osteonecrosis

A

Interupted blood supply - #

Interrupted vv drainage - thrombus/BM swelling

70
Q

RF osteonecrosis (6)

A 
# e.g. NOF/Scaphoid 
Idiopathic - Perthe's, AVN femoral head 
BM infiltration - malignancy
