  • Diagnosis and Treatment of Intramedullary Osteosclerosis
    Abe et al. BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders (2020) 21:762 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12891-020-03758-5 CASE REPORT Open Access Diagnosis and treatment of intramedullary osteosclerosis: a report of three cases and literature review Kensaku Abe, Norio Yamamoto, Katsuhiro Hayashi, Akihiko Takeuchi* , Shinji Miwa, Kentaro Igarashi, Takashi Higuchi, Yuta Taniguchi, Hirotaka Yonezawa, Yoshihiro Araki, Sei Morinaga, Yohei Asano and Hiroyuki Tsuchiya Abstract Background: Intramedullary osteosclerosis (IMOS) is a rare condition without specific radiological findings except for the osteosclerotic lesion and is not associated with family history and infection, trauma, or systemic illness. Although the diagnosis of IMOS is confirmed after excluding other osteosclerotic lesions, IMOS is not well known because of its rarity and no specific feature. Therefore, these situations might result in delayed diagnosis. Hence, this case report aimed to investigate three cases of IMOS and discuss imaging findings and clinical outcomes. Case presentation: All three cases were examined between 2015 and 2019. The location of osteosclerotic lesions were femoral diaphyses in the 60-year-old man (Case 1) and 41-year-old woman (Case 2) and tibial diaphysis in the 44-year-old woman (Case 3). All cases complained of severe pain and showed massive diaphyseal osteosclerotic lesions in plain radiograms and computed tomography (CT) scans. Cases 2 and 3 were examined using the triphasic bone scan, and a fusiform-shaped intense area of the tracer uptake on delayed bone image was detected in both cases without (Case 2) or slightly increased vascularity (Case 3) on the blood pool image, which was reported as a specific finding of IMOS.

  • Paleopathological Analysis of a Sub-Adult Allosaurus Fragilis (MOR
    Paleopathological analysis of a sub-adult Allosaurus fragilis (MOR 693) from the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation with multiple injuries and infections by Rebecca Rochelle Laws A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Earth Sciences Montana State University © Copyright by Rebecca Rochelle Laws (1996) Abstract: A sub-adult Allosaurus fragilis (Museum of the Rockies specimen number 693 or MOR 693; "Big Al") with nineteen abnormal skeletal elements was discovered in 1991 in the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation in Big Horn County, Wyoming at what became known as the "Big Al" site. This site is 300 meters northeast of the Howe Quarry, excavated in 1934 by Barnum Brown. The opisthotonic position of the allosaur indicated that rigor mortis occurred before burial. Although the skeleton was found within a fluvially-deposited sandstone, the presence of mud chips in the sandstone matrix and virtual completeness of the skeleton showed that the skeleton was not transported very far, if at all. The specific goals of this study are to: 1) provide a complete description and analysis of the abnormal bones of the sub-adult, male, A. fragilis, 2) develop a better understanding of how the bones of this allosaur reacted to infection and trauma, and 3) contribute to the pathological bone database so that future comparative studies are possible, and the hypothesis that certain abnormalities characterize taxa may be evaluated. The morphology of each of the 19 abnormal bones is described and each disfigurement is classified as to its cause: 5 trauma-induced; 2 infection-induced; 1 trauma- and infection-induced; 4 trauma-induced or aberrant, specific origin unknown; 4 aberrant; and 3 aberrant, specific origin unknown.

Rodolico”, Via S. Sofia 78, 95123 Catania, Italy. y Received: 29 April 2020; Accepted: 14 May 2020; Published: 16 May 2020 Abstract: Secondary osteoporosis is a common clinical problem faced by bone specialists, with a higher frequency in men than in women. One of several causes of secondary osteoporosis is hematological disease. There are numerous hematological diseases that can have a deleterious impact on bone health. In the literature, there is an abundance of evidence of bone involvement in patients affected by multiple myeloma, systemic mastocytosis, thalassemia, and hemophilia; some skeletal disorders are also reported in sickle cell disease. Recently, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance appears to increase fracture risk, predominantly in male subjects. The pathogenetic mechanisms responsible for these bone loss effects have not yet been completely clarified. Many soluble factors, in particular cytokines that regulate bone metabolism, appear to play an important role. An integrated approach to these hematological diseases, with the help of a bone specialist, could reduce the bone fracture rate and improve the quality of life of these patients.

De Smet, M.D. (Co-chair) Felix S. Chew, M.D., Ed.M. Mary Kathol, M.D. Mark Kransdorf, M.D., Lynne S. Steinbach, M.D. INTRODUCTION The following curriculum guide comprises a list of subjects which are important to a thorough understanding of disorders that affect the musculoskeletal system. It does not include every musculoskeletal condition, yet it is comprehensive enough to fulfill three basic requirements: 1.to provide practicing radiologists with the fundamentals needed to be valuable consultants to orthopedic surgeons, rheumatologists, and other referring physicians, 2.to provide radiology residency program directors with a guide to subjects that should be covered in a four year teaching curriculum, and 3.to serve as a “study guide” for diagnostic radiology residents. To that end, much of the material has been divided into “basic” and “advanced” categories. Basic material includes fundamental information that radiology residents should be able to learn, while advanced material includes information that musculoskeletal radiologists might expect to master. It is acknowledged that this division is somewhat arbitrary. It is the authors’ hope that each user of this guide will gain an appreciation for the information that is needed for the successful practice of musculoskeletal radiology. I.

Hereditary bony dysplasias include osteopoikilosis, osteopathia striata, osteopetrosis, progressive diaphyseal dysplasia, hereditary multiple diaphyseal sclerosis and pyknodysostosis. Non-hereditary dysplasias include melorheostosis, intramedullary osteosclerosis and overlap syndromes. Although many of these dysplasias are uncommon, radiologists should be familiar with their genetic, clinical and imaging findings to allow for differentiation from acquired causes of bony sclerosis. We present an overview of hereditary and non-hereditary bony dysplasias with focus on the pathogenesis, clinical and radiographic findings of each disorder.

  • Hypophosphatasia: Enzyme Replacement Therapy Brings New Opportunities and New Challenges
    PERSPECTIVE JBMR Hypophosphatasia: Enzyme Replacement Therapy Brings New Opportunities and New Challenges Michael P Whyte Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Bone and Mineral Diseases, Washington University School of Medicine, and Center for Metabolic Bone Disease and Molecular Research, Shriners Hospital for Children, St. Louis, MO, USA ABSTRACT Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is caused by loss-of-function mutation(s) of the gene that encodes the tissue-nonspecific isoenzyme of alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP). Autosomal inheritance (dominant or recessive) from among more than 300 predominantly missense defects of TNSALP (ALPL) explains HPP’s broad-ranging severity, the greatest of all skeletal diseases. In health, TNSALP is linked to cell surfaces and richly expressed in the skeleton and developing teeth. In HPP,TNSALP substrates accumulate extracellularly, including inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi), an inhibitor of mineralization. The PPi excess can cause tooth loss, rickets or osteomalacia, calcific arthropathies, and perhaps muscle weakness. Severely affected infants may seize from insufficient hydrolysis of pyridoxal 5‘- phosphate (PLP), the major extracellular vitamin B6. Now, significant successes are documented for newborns, infants, and children severely affected by HPP given asfotase alfa, a hydroxyapatite-targeted recombinant TNSALP. Since fall 2015, this biologic is approved by regulatory agencies multinationally typically for pediatric-onset HPP. Safe and effective treatment is now possible for this last rickets to have a medical therapy,

  • Osteopetrosis Associated with Familial Paraplegia: Report of a Family
    Paraplegia (1975), 13, 143-152 OSTEOPETROSIS ASSOCIATED WITH FAMILIAL PARAPLEGIA: REPORT OF A FAMILY By SKIP JACQUES*, M.D., JOHN T. GARNER, M. D., DAVID JOHNSON, M.D. and C. HUNTER SHELDEN, M. D. Departments of Neurosurgery and Radiology, Huntington Memorial Hospital, Pasadena, Ca., and the Huntington Institute of Applied Medical Research, Pasadena, Ca., U.S.A. Abstract. A clinical analysis of three members of a family with documented osteopetrosis and familial paraplegia is presented. All patients had a long history of increased bone density and slowly progressing paraparesis of both legs. A thorough review of the literature has revealed no other cases which presented with paraplegia without spinal cord com­ pression. Although the etiologic factor or factors remain unknown, our review supports the contention that this is a distinct clinical entity. IN 1904, a German radiologist, Heinrich Albers-Schonberg, described a 26-year­ old man with multiple fractures and generalised sclerosis of the skeleton. The disease has henceforth commonly been known as Albers-Schonberg disease or marble osteopetrosis, a term first introduced by Karshner in 1922. Other eponyms are bone disease, osteosclerosis fragilis generalisata, and osteopetrosis generalisata. Approximately 300 cases had been reported in the literature by 1968. It has been generally accepted that the disease presents in two distinct forms, an infantile progressive disease and a milder form in childhood and adolescence. The two forms differ clinically and genetically. A dominant pattern of inheritance is usually seen in the benign type whereas the severe infantile form is usually inherited as a Mendelian recessive. This important distinction has not been well emphasised.
