Study Notes
Bone Diseases
- Bone diseases can be classified into neoplasms, congenital, infections, metabolic bone diseases, and uncertain causes.
Congenital Bone Diseases
- Achondroplasia: a congenital bone disease
- Osteogenesis imperfecta (Brittle Bone Disease): a congenital bone disease
Infections
- Osteomyelitis: an acute inflammation of the bone and bone marrow, secondary to bacterial infection
- Routes of infection: hematogenous, direct implantation, and continuous source
- Pathogenesis of osteomyelitis: local ischemia, necrosis, and sequestrum formation, elevation of periosteum, and abscess extension into adjacent joint area or medullary cavity
Acute Pyogenic Osteomyelitis
- Clinical features: high fever, throbbing pain, swelling, and immobility
- Laboratory findings: increased neutrophil, TWBC, C-reactive protein, and ESR, and positive blood culture for Staph sp. in 70% of patients
- Radiography: normal in early-onset, bone necrosis in later stage with areas of lucency
Chronic Osteomyelitis
- Hematogenous osteomyelitis: can cause gangrene, especially in diabetic patients
- Clinical features: high fever, throbbing pain, swelling, and immobility
- Laboratory findings: increased neutrophil, TWBC, C-reactive protein, and ESR, and positive blood culture for Staph sp. in 70% of patients
- Radiography: normal in early-onset, bone necrosis in later stage with areas of lucency
Metabolic Bone Diseases
- Osteoporosis: a form of bone atrophy, loss of total mass without other structural abnormalities
- Etiology: senile osteoporosis, postmenopausal osteoporosis, environmental factors, prolonged immobilization, endocrine disease, and negative calcium balance
- Pathology and clinical features: affects all bones, especially in major weight-bearing and stress areas, kyphosis, abnormal vertebral curvature, decrease in height, and compression fractures
Neoplasms
- Osteosarcoma: the most common malignant tumor of bone, mainly affecting individuals 10-25 years old
- Etiology: childhood osteosarcoma (genetic predisposition, higher incidence in children with retinoblastoma), adult osteosarcoma (radiation exposure, secondary to Paget's disease)
- Pathogenesis: arises in the medullary cavity of the metaphysical region of long bone, caused by germline or sporadic mutations, aggressive and infiltrates widely, and hematogenous metastasis to the lung occurs early
