Hypertrophic osteopathy- thickening of the periosteum. Usually affects long bones of the extremeties (radius, ulna, tibia, metacarpals and metatarsals).

Rickets- the growth plate is thickened, due to the persistence of HYPERTROPHIC chondrocytes which do not degenerate and undergo necrosis. Because there is no mineralization of the cartilage matrix they produced; when the ossification front approaches there is no vascular invasion from the metaphysis and no bone formation as a consequence. The lesion can be indistinguishable from chondrodysplasia.
What happens in endochondral ossification?
- Degeneration of hypertrophic chondrocytes and mineralization of cartilage matrix
- Vascular invasion of lacunar spaces from metaphyseal vessels
- Osteoprogenitor cells invade with capillaries
- Osteoprogenitor cells differentiate into osteoblasts
- Osteoblasts deposit osteoid on spicules of mineralized cartilage
- Osteoid is mineralized to form bone.
