Study Notes
Bone Cells and Structure
- Osteoblasts form bone cells
- Osteocytes are mature bone cells
- Osteoclasts break down bone matrix
- Osteogenic cells are stem cells in the periosteum and endosteum, giving rise to osteoblasts
- Woven bone is rapidly produced during fetal development or fracture repair, characterized by a haphazard arrangement of collagen fibers
- Lamellar bone is the mature bone found in adult skeletons, with a more organized structure (cortical and trabecular)
- Parallel collagen fibers characterize lamellar bone.
Bone Development
- Endochondral ossification develops long bones
- Intramembranous ossification develops flat bones
Osteoclast Regulation
- RANKL (on osteoblasts and marrow stromal cells) binds to RANK (on osteoclast precursors), stimulating osteoclast activity.
- Osteoprotegerin (OPG) blocks RANK-RANKL interaction, inhibiting osteoclast activity.
- Bone resorption and formation balance is controlled by PTH, Vitamin D3, sex hormones, and glucocorticoids.
Achondroplasia
- Autosomal dominant disorder affecting endochondral ossification
- Point mutation in FGFR3
- Shortened limbs, large head, and bulging forehead are characteristics
- No change to longevity, intelligence, or reproductive status.
Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI)
- Brittle bone disease
- Defective synthesis of type I collagen
- Multiple extraskeletal manifestations (too little bone mass and extreme fragility)
- Various types with varying severity and lifespan
- Some types are uniformly lethal in utero or postpartum
Osteopetrosis
- Stone/marble bone disease
- Defective osteoclast-mediated bone resorption
- Increased bone density, making bones brittle and prone to fracture
- Many types with variations in symptoms
Hyperparathyroidism
- Increased PTH leads to increased osteoclastic activity, resulting in bone resorption and osteopenia (low bone mass)
- Some bones are more conspicuous on radiographs
- Central role in calcium homeostasis
- Increased osteoclastic activation
- Increased urinary excretion of phosphates
- Synthesis of active vitamin D3, affecting calcium absorption
Secondary Hyperparathyroidism
- Chronic renal failure
- Inability to produce enough active vitamin D3
- Reduction of PTH levels can correct the imbalance
Brown Tumor
- Manifestation of symptomatic untreated hyperparathyroidism
- Bone loss occurs most severely in phalanges, vertebra, and femur
- Micro-fractures and hemorrhages cause reparative fibrous tissue growth inside bone
- Brown color is due to vascularity, hemorrhage, and hemosiderin deposition
Paget Disease
- Increased, disordered bone in structure
- Osteolytic, osteoclastic-osteoblastic, and osteosclerotic phases
- Mosaic pattern of lamellar bone
Osteomyelitis
- Infection of bone and bone marrow
- Usually starts from a hematogenous source
- Different forms/types, leading to various complications
Bone Tumors
- Metastatic bone tumors are prevalent
- Benign bone tumors (osteoma) grow slowly, often asymptomatic, and are generally localized
- Malignant bone tumors, like osteosarcoma, grow quickly, spread aggressively, and present more severe health issues.
- Osteosarcoma arises in metaphyses of long bones: most common primary malignant bone tumor in children.
Other Bone Conditions
- Osteoid osteoma and osteoblastoma are benign bone tumors that differ by size
- Osteochondroma is a benign bony projection, often arising from growth plates
- Chondroma is a benign tumor arising from cartilage tissue that often presents in small tubular bones
- Chondrosarcoma is a malignant tumor arising from cartilage tissue. Typically arises from bones in the extremities, pelvis, and trunk.
- fibrous cortical defect and non-ossifying fibroma: benign, often discovered incidentally, developmental disorders; fibrous dysplasia is a benign process with pre-cancerous potential
- Ewing sarcoma/PNET is a malignant, aggressive tumor originating from bone marrow. It is associated with bone pain, swelling.
Osteoarthritis
- Degeneration of articular cartilage, often associated with aging and predisposing factors
- Secondary osteoarthritis can develop due to several causes.
- Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic autoimmune disorder, leading to chronic progressive inflammation in many tissues.
- Some common sites of involvement include small joints.
Seronegative Spondyloarthropathies
- Include ankylosing spondylitis, Reiter's syndrome, and psoriatic arthritis.
- These disorders lack rheumatoid factor and show a prevalence of HLA-B27 presence.
Gout
- Caused by monosodium urate crystal deposits in joints.
- Several risk factors for gout development; alcohol consumption, purine-rich diets, kidney disease or impairment.
- Acute arthritis is common in the great toe
- Secondary gout can be associated with neurological conditions and other medical issues
Pseudogout
- Calcium pyrophosphate deposition in joints.
