Bone Bone Organic matrix( 35%)- cells & proteinaceous osteoid Inorganic elements( 65%)-calcium hydroxyapatite, 99% of body’s ca- 85% of P- 65% of Na and Mg Remodeling: constant breakdown & renewal which the net effects may be bone maintenance, bone loss or bone deposition Bone diseases Congenital diseases Acquired diseases Fractures Osteonecrosis Osteomyelitis Tumors Congenital diseases of bone Developmental anomalies localized problems in migration of mesenchymal cells & formation of condensations, dysostoses Isolated sporadic lesion or a component of a complex syndrome More common lesions 1. Aplasia- congenital absence of a digit or rib 2. Formation of extra bones- supernumerary digits or ribs 3. Abnormal fusion of bones- premature closure of cranial sutures or congenital fusion of ribs Mutations Interfere with bone or cartilage formation, growth, and/or maintenance of normal matrix components More diffuse defects Dysplasia osteodysplasia, chondrodysplasia Other genetic metabolic disorders Not usually thought of as primary skeletal diseases, eg; mucopolysaccharidoses like Hurler syn Osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle bone disease) Osteogenesis imperfecta (brittle bone disease) A group of hereditary disorders caused by defective synthesis of type I collagen Gene mutations in coding sequences for α1 or α2 chains, quality or quantity( premature degradation, dominant negative mutation ) Most, AD Extraskeletal manifestations: skin, joints, eyes…. OI Too little bone, extreme skeletal fragility Four major subtypes, extremely broad range of clinical outcome Type I- normal lifespan, fractures during childhood, blue sclera, hearing loss, small misshapen teeth Type II-fatal Achondroplasia Achondroplasia Activating Point mutation in FGF receptor3 Activation of receptor Inhibits chondrocyte proliferation Impaired long bone growth Achondroplasia AD Spontaneous mutation( many cases ) Affected individuals are typically heterozygotes Homozygotes die soon after birth because of abnormalities in chest development & respiratory failure Clinical findings Most common form of dwarfism Affects all bones that form from a cartilaginous framework Most conspicuous changes: marked disporportionate shortening of proximal extremities, bowing of the legs, lordotic posture Cartilage growth plate: disorganized & hypoplastic Osteopetrosis Osteopetrosis A group of rare genetic disorders characterized by reduced osteoclast-mediated bone resorption, defective bone remodeling Several variants, most common: 1- AD adult form with mild clinical manifestations 2- AR infantile with a severe/ lethal phenotype Osteopetrosis Causing defects Those that disturb osteoclast function Those that interfere with osteoclast formation & differentiation osteoclast dysfunction Bone resorption through osteocalsts: decalcification by proton pump and degrading enzymes also activation of mediators Nature of osteoclast dysfunction unknown in many cases Carbonic anhydrase II deficiency results in reduced bone demineralization( required for osteoclast H+ excretion) Proton pump deficiency Chloride channel defect Clinical findings Fractures Cranial nerve problems Recurrent infections( diminished hematopoiesis ) Hepatosplenomegaly Bone marrow transplant Acquired diseases of bone development NUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCIES( VIT C, VIT D) PRIMARY & SECONDARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM OSTEOPORESIS PAGET DISEASE RICKETS & OSTEOMALACIA Osteoporosis Increased porosity of skeleton resulting from reduced bone mass, increase in bone fragility & fx Localized to a bone or region or generalized Most common forms: senile, postmenopausal Bone loss generally occurs in areas containing abundant cancelloues bone so more pronounced in spine & femoral neck Paget disease ( osteitis deformans) Paget disease Gain in bone mass but newly formed bone is disordered & lacks strength Repetitive episodes of regional osteoclastic activity & bone resorption- followed by exuberant bone formation- finally by exhaustion of cellular activity Osteolytic stage, mixed osteoclastic- osteoblastic stage, osteosclerotic stage Age: mid adulthood Marked variation in prevalence in different populations Morphology Lytic phase- numerous & large osteoclasts Mixed phase- prominent osteoblasts, marrow replaced by loose connective tissue Mosaic pattern( pathogonomic histologic feature ) Pathogenesis Paramyxovirus infection IL-1 secretion from infected cells, M-CSF activate osteoclasts Other suggested mechanism: intrinsic hyperresponsiveness of osteoclasts to activating agents as, vitD & RANK ligand.
