Musculoskeletal - Benign Bone disorders Flashcards
Loss of bone quantity while bone quality is normal.
osteoporosis
Senile type of osteoporosis is MC in _____ and due to lack of ________
Men
Growth hormone
Loss of bone quality with softening of the bone.
osteomalacia
Looser’s zones on x-rays of bones.
osteomalacia
Loss of bone quality in children, bowlegs and Rachitic rosary (swollen costochondral joints) decrease vitamin D
rickets
Brown (hemosiderin) bone cysts and hypercalcemia due to hyperparathyroidism.
osteitis fibrosa cystica
Reduced bone mineral density, age, postmenopausal women, nutrient deficiency, much worse in women.
osteoporosis
Osteoporosis MC fracture sites:
Vertebral body compression
Femoral neck
Osteolysis followed by deposition of disorganized bone, enlarged bone that lacks strength, “shaggy” appearance.
Paget’s disease
Shows up on x-ray with “Ivory vertebra” and also seen axial skeleton, femur, skull, pelvis and has fractures and nerve compression.
Paget’s disease
Disruption of vascular supply to bone (fracture), bony necrosis, hip and shoulder.
Avascular necrosis
Arrested development of bone, bone softening, most sever when involving multiple bones (polyostotitc), femur (Shepard’s crook), craniofacial distortion, sever distortion.
Fibrous dysplasia
Polyostotic dysplasia, café-au-lait spots precocious puberty (endocrinopathy).
McCune-Albright syndrome
Malignant, adolescent, Caucasians, femur, pelvis, periosteal reaction (onion skinning)
Ewing sarcoma
Bone marrow infection, S. aureus, M tuberculosis, involucrum
Osteomyelitis
Pronounced ankylosis on the anterior segment of vertebral bodies, common on anterior cervical vertebrae, “flowing ossification” or “melted candle wax”, idiopathic, diabetes.
Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis (DISH)
DISH aka
Forestier’s disease
