Study Notes
Skeletal Findings in Metabolic Bone Diseases
- Skeletal findings in hyperparathyroidism are most readily recognized in the hand (31%)
- Subperiosteal bone resorption in hyperparathyroidism begins at the radial aspects of the middle phalanges
- Bone resorption can also occur in the ribs, lamina dura, humerus, femur, and upper medial tibia
- Trabecular, intracortical, endosteal, subchondral, and subligamentous or subtendinous bone resorption can also occur
Tumor-Induced Osteomalacia
- Generalized osteopenia, vertebral body fractures, and multiple Looser zones are characteristic of tumor-induced osteomalacia
- Fibroblast growth factor 23-secreting mesenchymal tumors can cause tumor-induced osteomalacia
Hypophosphatasia
- Hypophosphatasia is characterized by severe calvarial ossification defects
- Soft-tissue deposits of calcium hydroxyapatite, calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate, and calcium oxalate can occur around large joints
Amyloid Deposition
- Amyloid deposition can occur in patients undergoing long-term hemodialysis
- Amyloid deposition can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome in as many as 31% of patients
Primary Hyperparathyroidism
- Primary hyperparathyroidism can cause bone resorption, leading to osteopenia and Looser zones
- Jaw pain and bone deformities are common symptoms of primary hyperparathyroidism
Acromegaly
- Acromegaly can cause thick frontal bones and an enlarged sella
- Spade-shaped distal phalangeal tufts, an enlarged heel pad, and thick plantar skin are characteristic of acromegaly
Scurvy
- Scurvy is characterized by osteopenia, periosteal elevation, and metaphyseal beaking
- Frankel lines and Trummerfeld zones or scurvy lines reflect accumulation of hemorrhage in the zone of provisional calcification
- Subepiphyseal "corner" fractures can occur in scurvy
This quiz covers the skeletal manifestations of hyperparathyroidism, including bone resorption and other skeletal findings in the hands, ribs, and other areas.
