12 Diseases of Bone Endeavour College of Natural Health 12

13 Osteoporosis o Definition: It is a metabolic bone disease characterized by a loss of mineralized bone mass causing increased porosity of the skeleton and susceptibility to fractures. o Risk factors: Genetic predisposition Age Gender Hormonal Imbalance Activity level Nutritional status Endocrine disorders Malabsorption disorders Malignancies Smoking Alcoholism Certain medications Endeavour College of Natural Health 13

14 Osteoporosis o Include: Age related osteoporosis Post menopausal osteoporosis Osteoporosis in men Secondary osteoporosis Corticosteroid induced osteoporosis Juvenile osteoporosis o Pathophysiology: Defect in attaining peak bone mass and/or accelerated bone loss the bone mineral density (BMD) is reduced bone micro architecture is disrupted the amount and variety of non-collagenous proteins in bone is altered porous bones increased risk for fractures Endeavour College of Natural Health 14

15 o Clinical features: Osteoporosis Asymptomatic until a fracture occurs Spinal fracture: Acute back pain or gradual onset of height loss and kyphosis with chronic pain. Acute vertebral fracture: pain radiating to the anterior chest or abdominal wall Peripheral osteoporotic fractures: local pain, tenderness and deformity, often after an episode of minimal trauma. Hip fracture: the affected leg is shortened and externally rotated. Endeavour College of Natural Health 15

16 Osteoporosis Femoral head of an 82-year-old woman with osteoporosis and femoral neck fracture (right), compared with a normal control bone cut to the same thickness (left). Grossman, S, Porth, CM 2013, Porth s pathophysiology, Concepts of Altered Health States, 9th edn, Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Endeavour College of Natural Health 16

17 o Diagnosis: Osteoporosis Bone densitometry/dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) Clinical history Investigations for suspected underlying risk factors Walker, BR, Colledge, NR, Ralston, SH, & Penman, ID (eds) 2014, Davidson s principles and practice of medicine, 22 nd edn, Churchill Livingstone Elsevier, Edinburgh Osteoporotic fractures: X- rays of Wrist (Colles fracture) and Hip. Endeavour College of Natural Health 17

18 Osteoporosis o Management: Non-pharmacological: smoking cessation, moderation of alcohol intake, adequate dietary calcium intake and exercise measures to prevent fractures Pharmacological Bisphosphonates Calcium and vitamin D Hormone replacement therapy Endeavour College of Natural Health 18

19 Osteomalacia & Rickets o Definition: Osteomalacia describes a syndrome in adults of defective bone mineralisation, bone pain, increased bone fragility and fractures. Rickets is the equivalent syndrome in children and is characterised by enlargement of the growth plate and bone deformity. o Aetiology: Vitamin D deficiency Failure of 1,25 vitamin D synthesis Vitamin D receptor defects Defects in phosphate and pyrophosphate metabolism Iatrogenic and other Endeavour College of Natural Health 19

20 Vitamin D deficiency Osteomalacia & Rickets o Pathophysiology: Prolonged vitamin D deficiency Reserves of 25(OH)D become progressively depleted (through increased conversion of 25(OH)D to 1,25(OH)2D), Hypocalcaemia and hypophosphataemia progressive demineralisation of the skeleton and the clinical syndromes of osteomalacia and rickets. Walker, BR, Colledge, NR, Ralston, SH, & Penman, ID (eds) 2014, Davidson s principles and practice of medicine, 22 nd edn, Churchill Livingstone Elsevier, Edinburgh Endeavour College of Natural Health 20

21 o Clinical features: In children Vitamin D deficiency Osteomalacia & Rickets Delayed development Muscle hypotonia Craniotabes Bossing of the frontal and parietal bones and delayed anterior fontanelle closure, Enlargement of epiphyses at the lower end of the radius Swelling of the rib costochondral junctions Endeavour College of Natural Health 21

22 o Clinical features: In adults: Vitamin D deficiency Osteomalacia & Rickets Mild osteomalacia: Asymptomatic or present with fractures and mimic osteoporosis Severe Osteomalacia: Muscle and bone pain, general malaise and fragility fractures. Proximal muscle weakness is prominent and the patient may walk with a waddling gait and struggle to climb stairs or get out of a chair. bone and muscle tenderness on pressure and focal bone pain can occur due to fissure fractures of the ribs and pelvis. Endeavour College of Natural Health 22

23 Vitamin D deficiency o Diagnosis: Osteomalacia & Rickets Serum 25(OH)D and PTH Serum ALP SERUM calcium and phosphate X-rays Radionuclide bone scan Bone biopsy o Management: Vitamin D Photomicrograph of bone biopsy from osteomalacic patient showing thick osteoid seams (stained light blue) that cover almost all of the bone surface. Calcified bone is stained dark blue. Walker, BR, Colledge, NR, Ralston, SH, & Penman, ID (eds) 2014, Davidson s principles and practice of medicine, 22 nd edn, Churchill Livingstone Elsevier, Edinburgh Endeavour College of Natural Health 23

24 Paget s Disease o Definition: Paget s disease of bone (PDB) is a common condition characterised by focal areas of increased and disorganised bone remodelling, mostly affecting the axial skeletal (pelvis, femur, tibia, lumbar spine, skull and scapula). o Aetiology: Genetic factors SQSTM1 gene mutation Environmental factors: Slow virus infection with measles (paramyxovirus) Endeavour College of Natural Health 24

25 Paget s Disease o Pathophysiology: Osteoclasts are increased in number, are unusually large and contain characteristic nuclear inclusion bodies Increased osteoclastic bone resorption Increased osteoblast activity V Poor quality and disorganized bone formation, marrow fibrosis, increased vascularity of bone Mosaic-like pattern in bone Abnormal bone with reduced mechanical strength o Clinical features: Bone pain Bone deformity Deafness Pathological fractures o Complications: Neurological problems Cardiac failure Osteosarcoma Endeavour College of Natural Health 25
