  • Hypophosphatasia Could Explain Some Atypical Femur Fractures
    Hypophosphatasia Could Explain Some Atypical Femur Fractures What we know Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a rare genetic disease that affects the development of bones and teeth in children (Whyte 1985). HPP is caused by the absence or reduced amount of an enzyme called tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TAP), also called bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BSAP). The absence of TAP raises the level of inorganic pyrophosphate (Pi), which prevents calcium and phosphate from creating strong, mineralized bone. Without TAP, bones can become weak. In its severe form, HPP is fatal and happens in 1/100,000 births. Because HPP is genetic, it can appear in adults as well. A recent study has identified a milder, more common form of HPP that occurs in 4 of 1000 adults (Dahir 2018). This form of HPP is usually seen in early middle aged adults who have low bone density and sometimes have stress fractures in the feet or thigh bone. Sometimes these patients lose their baby teeth early, but not always. HPP is diagnosed by measuring blood levels of TAP and vitamin B6. An elevated vitamin B6 level [serum pyridoxal 5-phosphate (PLP)] (Whyte 1985) in a patient with a TAP level ≤40 or in the low end of normal can be diagnosed with HPP. Almost half of the adult patients with HPP in the large study had TAP >40, but in the lower end of the normal range (Dahir 2018). The connection between hypophosphatasia and osteoporosis Some people who have stress fractures get a bone density test and are treated with an osteoporosis medicine if their bone density results are low.

    Atypical femur fracture in an adolescent boy treated with bisphosphonates for X-linked osteoporosis based on PLS3 mutation Denise M. van de Laarschot BSc1, M. Carola Zillikens MD PhD 1 1 Department of Internal Medicine, Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, The Netherlands Corresponding author at: Erasmus Medical Centre, PO Box 2040, 3000 CA Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Abstract Long-term use of bisphosphonates has raised concerns about the association with Atypical Femur Fractures (AFFs) that have been reported mainly in postmenopausal women. We report a case of an 18-year-old patient with juvenile osteoporosis based on X-linked osteoporosis due to a PLS3 mutation who developed a low trauma femoral fracture after seven years of intravenous and two years of oral bisphosphonate use, fulfilling the revised ASBMR diagnostic criteria of an AFF. The occurrence of AFFs has not been described previously in children or adolescents. The underlying monogenetic bone disease in our case strengthens the possibility of a genetic predisposition at least in some cases of AFF. We cannot exclude that a transverse fracture of the tibia that also occurred after a minor trauma at age 16 might be part of the same spectrum of atypical fractures related to the use of bisphosphonates. In retrospect our patient experienced prodromal pain prior to both the tibia and the femur fracture. Case reports of atypical fractures in children with a monogenetic bone disease such as Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) or juvenile osteoporosis are important to consider in the discussion about optimal

  • Differential Diagnosis: Brittle Bone Conditions Other Than OI
    Facts about Osteogenesis Imperfecta Differential Diagnosis: Brittle Bone Conditions Other than OI Fragile bones are the hallmark feature of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). The mutations that cause OI lead to abnormalities within bone that result in increased bone turnover; reduced bone mineral content and decreased bone mineral density. The consequence of these changes is brittle bones that fracture easily. But not all cases of brittle bones are OI. Other causes of brittle bones include osteomalacia, disuse osteoporosis, disorders of increased bone density, defects of bone, and tumors. The following is a list of conditions that share fragile or brittle bones as a distinguishing feature. Brief descriptions and sources for further information are included.

  • Imaging of Osteomyelitis: the Key Is in the Combination
    Special RepoRt Special RepoRt Imaging of osteomyelitis: the key is in the combination An accurate diagnosis of osteomyelitis requires the combination of anatomical and functional imaging techniques. Conventional radiography is the first imaging modality to begin with, as it provides an overview of both the anatomy and the pathologic conditions of the bone. Sonography is most useful in the diagnosis of fluid collections, periosteal involvement and soft tissue abnormalities, and may provide guidance for diagnostic or therapeutic interventions. MRI highlights sites with tissue edema and increased regional perfusion, and provides accurate information of the extent of the infectious process and the tissues involved. To detect osteomyelitis before anatomical changes are present, functional imaging could have some advantages over anatomical imaging. Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose-PET has the highest diagnostic accuracy for confirming or excluding the diagnosis of chronic osteomyelitis. For both SPECT and PET, specificity improves considerably when the scintigraphic images are fused with computed tomography. Close cooperation between clinicians and imagers remains the key to early and adequate diagnosis when osteomyelitis is suspected or evaluated. †1 KEYWORDS: computed tomography n hybrid systems n imaging n MRI n nuclear Carlos Pineda , medicine n osteomyelitis n ultrasonography Angelica Pena2, Rolando Espinosa2 & Cristina Osteomyelitis is inflammation of the bone that osteomyelitis.

    A comparison of imaging modalities for the diagnosis of osteomyelitis Brandon J. Smith1, Grant S. Buchanan2, Franklin D. Shuler2 Author Affiliations: 1. Joan C Edwards School of Medicine, Marshall University, Huntington, West Virginia 2. Marshall University The authors have no financial disclosures to declare and no conflicts of interest to report. Corresponding Author: Brandon J. Smith Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine Huntington, West Virginia Email: [email protected] Abstract Osteomyelitis is an increasingly common pathology that often poses a diagnostic challenge to clinicians. Accurate and timely diagnosis is critical to preventing complications that can result in the loss of life or limb. In addition to history, physical exam, and laboratory studies, diagnostic imaging plays an essential role in the diagnostic process. This narrative review article discusses various imaging modalities employed to diagnose osteomyelitis: plain films, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, bone scintigraphy, and positron emission tomography (PET). Articles were obtained from PubMed and screened for relevance to the topic of diagnostic imaging for osteomyelitis. The authors conclude that plain films are an appropriate first step, as they may reveal osteolytic changes and can help rule out alternative pathology. MRI is often the most appropriate second study, as it is highly sensitive and can detect bone marrow changes within days of an infection. Other studies such as CT, ultrasound, and bone scintigraphy may be useful in patients who cannot undergo MRI. CT is useful for identifying necrotic bone in chronic infections. Ultrasound may be useful in children or those with sickle-cell disease. Bone scintigraphy is particularly useful for vertebral osteomyelitis.

  • Establishment of a Dental Effects of Hypophosphatasia Registry Thesis
    Establishment of a Dental Effects of Hypophosphatasia Registry Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Jennifer Laura Winslow, DMD Graduate Program in Dentistry The Ohio State University 2018 Thesis Committee Ann Griffen, DDS, MS, Advisor Sasigarn Bowden, MD Brian Foster, PhD Copyrighted by Jennifer Laura Winslow, D.M.D. 2018 Abstract Purpose: Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a metabolic disease that affects development of mineralized tissues including the dentition. Early loss of primary teeth is a nearly universal finding, and although problems in the permanent dentition have been reported, findings have not been described in detail. In addition, enzyme replacement therapy is now available, but very little is known about its effects on the dentition. HPP is rare and few dental providers see many cases, so a registry is needed to collect an adequate sample to represent the range of manifestations and the dental effects of enzyme replacement therapy. Devising a way to recruit patients nationally while still meeting the IRB requirements for human subjects research presented multiple challenges. Methods: A way to recruit patients nationally while still meeting the local IRB requirements for human subjects research was devised in collaboration with our Office of Human Research. The solution included pathways for obtaining consent and transferring protected information, and required that the clinician providing the clinical data refer the patient to the study and interact with study personnel only after the patient has given permission. Data forms and a custom database application were developed. Results: The registry is established and has been successfully piloted with 2 participants, and we are now initiating wider recruitment.

  • Immunopathologic Studies in Relapsing Polychondritis
    Immunopathologic Studies in Relapsing Polychondritis Jerome H. Herman, Marie V. Dennis J Clin Invest. 1973;52(3):549-558. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI107215. Research Article Serial studies have been performed on three patients with relapsing polychondritis in an attempt to define a potential immunopathologic role for degradation constituents of cartilage in the causation and/or perpetuation of the inflammation observed. Crude proteoglycan preparations derived by disruptive and differential centrifugation techniques from human costal cartilage, intact chondrocytes grown as monolayers, their homogenates and products of synthesis provided antigenic material for investigation. Circulating antibody to such antigens could not be detected by immunodiffusion, hemagglutination, immunofluorescence or complement mediated chondrocyte cytotoxicity as assessed by 51Cr release. Similarly, radiolabeled incorporation studies attempting to detect de novo synthesis of such antibody by circulating peripheral blood lymphocytes as assessed by radioimmunodiffusion, immune absorption to neuraminidase treated and untreated chondrocytes and immune coprecipitation were negative. Delayed hypersensitivity to cartilage constituents was studied by peripheral lymphocyte transformation employing [3H]thymidine incorporation and the release of macrophage aggregation factor. Positive results were obtained which correlated with periods of overt disease activity. Similar results were observed in patients with classical rheumatoid arthritis manifesting destructive articular changes. This study suggests that cartilage antigenic components may facilitate perpetuation of cartilage inflammation by cellular immune mechanisms.
