Study Notes
Osteology
- Osteoblasts: Form bone cells
- Osteocytes: Mature bone cells
- Osteoclasts: Break down bone matrix
- Osteogenic cells: Stem cells in periosteum and endosteum forming osteoblasts
- Woven bone: Rapidly produced during fetal development and fracture repair
- Lamellar bone: Mature bone found in adult skeleton
- Hypercellular: but more mineralized
- Parallel collagen fibers: Found in lamellar bone
- Endochondral ossification: Development of long bones
- Intramembranous ossification: Development of flat bones
- RANKL: On osteoblasts, binds to RANK on osteoclasts
- OPG: Produced by osteoblasts, blocks RANK-RANKL interaction.
- Bone resorption/formation ratio: RANK-OPG ratio
- Factors affecting bone resorption and turnover: PTH, Vitamin D, sex hormones, glucocorticoids, and BMP
- Abnormal bone development: Osteogenesis Imperfecta, brittle bone disease, defective collagen synthesis, numerous extraskeletal manifestations
Hyperparathyroidism
- PTH increase: Leads to increased osteoclastic activity, bone resorption, and osteopenia
- Secondary Hyperparathyroidism: Chronic renal failure, inadequate vitamin D synthesis, affects GI calcium absorption, increase in PTH levels
- Brown Tumor: (osteitis fibrosa cystica) severe hyperparathyroidism, manifestation in untreated hyperparathyroidism, bone loss, micro-fractures
Paget's Disease
- Increased bone turnover, but disordered, structurally unsound
- Three phases:
- Osteolytic
- Osteoclastic-osteoblastic
- Osteosclerotic
- Mosaic pattern of lamellar bone
Osteomyelitis
- Suppurative and ischemic injury to the bone, segmental bone necrosis, rupture of periosteum, subperiosteal abscess, draining sinus, epiphyseal infection, spread of suppurative arthritis
- Extensive destruction of articular cartilage causing long-term disability.
- Tuberculous osteomyelitis: Mycobacterium tuberculosis causes, hematogenous spread to long bones and vertebrae, often solitary or multifocal. Typically has a granuloma-causing inflammatory response, with caseous necrosis.
- Other bacterial infections can also cause osteomyelitis.
Bone Tumors
- Metastatic tumors are the most common bone tumors
- Osteoma: Benign, slow-growing tumor, mostly found in the head, neck, and paranasal sinuses; often looks similar to mature bone, but does not have cartilage cap.
- Osteosarcoma: Most common primary malignant bone tumor (other than myeloma and lymphoma), usually in adolescents and young adults, mostly occurs in the metaphysis of long bones
- Chondroma: Benign tumor from hyaline cartilage, frequently in tubular bones of the hands or feet.
- Chondrosarcoma: Malignant tumor originating from cartilage cells
- Ewing sarcoma/PNET: Round cell malignant tumor of bone and soft tissue. May affect long bones.
Other Bone Diseases
- Osteochondroma: Benign, slow growing tumors, arising from the growth plate.
- Fibrous cortical defect/non-ossifying fibroma: Developmental disorder, appears as a cortical defect in radiographic images, often asymptomatic, sometimes multiple.
- Fibrous dysplasia: Benign non-precancerous lesion, often solitary or multiple with café-au-lait pigmentation.
- Chordoma: Malignant tumor of notochord derived cells, usually in the sacrococcygeal region.
Joint Diseases
- Osteoarthritis: Most common joint disorder, characterized by degeneration of articular cartilage, secondary osteoarthritis can be caused by several other factors. It can affect the hands, knees, and spine, causing pain and morning stiffness. Fusion of joints does not occur.
- Rheumatoid arthritis: Systemic autoimmune disease affecting joints and other tissues. Chronic progressive inflammation causes disability and joint destruction.
- Seronegative spondyloarthropathies: Unlike other arthritis, starts with ligament and tendon involvement before bone changes occur and is associated with HLA-B27. Includes Ankylosing Spondylitis, Reiter's Syndrome, Psoriatic Arthritis.
- Gout: A type of arthritis caused by high levels of uric acid in the blood. Causes inflammation of the joints.
- Pseudogout: A type of arthritis caused by calcium pyrophosphate deposition in joints.
