Musculoskeletal Flashcards
Multinucleated giant cells residing in Howship lacunae
Osteoclasts
Backbone of bone matrix is made up of
type I collagen
Woven bone
Collagen is deposited randomly (fetus, growth plates)
Lamellar bone
Collagen is deposited in an orderly fashion
Osteogenesis Imperfecta
deficiency in synthesis of type I collagen
blue sclera, small misshapen yellow teeth, deafness
Osteogenesis Imperfecta
Type I (Osteogenesis Imperfecta Tarda)
acquired mutation, mild
most common form, fractures in early childhood, XR shows old Fx
Type II (Osteogenesis Imperfecta Congenita)
rare inherited, Fx & bone malformations at birth
Death in osteoporosis pt is likely d/t
pneumonia and PE
Osteoporosis
imbalance between bone resportion and formation ↑porosity of bones
2 Types of Osteoporosis
age-related (low osteoblast Fx)
postmenopausal (high osteoclast Fx)
Osteoporosis S/S
fractures of the distal forearm, vertebrae or proximal femur, compression microfractures, lumbar lordosis, kyphoscoliosis
Osteoporosis Histology
excessive but proportional reduction in both mineral and matrix phases of bone
Osteopetrosis
osteoclast dysfunction and diffuse skeletal sclerosis
Osteopetrosis defect
defect in carbonic anhydrase II –> blocked matrix solubilization and resorption
Erlenmeyer flask deformity
Osteopetrosis
Malignant Osteopetrosis S/S
HSM d/t extramedullary hematopoiesis, mild cranial nerve deficits
Paget Disease (Osteitis Deformans)
hereditary disease of osteoclast dysfunction and matrix madness (high osteoclast Fx -> burn-out -> high osteoblast Fx)
Paget Disease (Osteitis Deformans) cause
fifth decade, may be d/t paramyxoviruses
Paget Disease (Osteitis Deformans) affects
long bones, pelvis, spine, skull, with bone becoming thick, soft, and porous
Paget Disease (Osteitis Deformans) Histology
mosaic pattern of lamellar bone
thick porous skull
Paget Disease
Paget Disease
Leonine facies (leontiasis ossea), skull invagination (platybasia), and femur bowing
Increased hat size
Paget Disease
