3

CONGENITAL DISORDERS •also known as a congenital disease,

deformity, birth defect, or anomaly.•It is a condition existing at or before birth

regardless of cause.

4

DYSOSTOSES:•It is a localized problem resulting from

mesenchymal cells migration and formation of condensation.

•May affect individual or group of bones.•Can result from mutations in specific

homeobox genes(a DNA sequence, around 180 base pairs long, found within genes).

5

EXAMPLES1. APLASIA: congenital absence of digit or

rib2. FORMATION OF EXTRA BONE:

supernumerary digit or ribs3. ABNORMAL FUSION OF BONE:

premature closure

7

DYSPLASIA•Mutations that interfere with bone and

cartilage formation, growth or/and maintenance of normal matrix

•Osteodysplasia•Chondrodysplasia

CONGENITAL

DISORDERS OF BONE

AND CARTILAGE

•OSTEOGENESIS IMPERFECTA•ACHONDROPLASIA AND THANATOPHORIC DWARFISM•OSTEOPETROSIS

9

OSTEOGENESIS IMPERFECTA•OI is also known as “brittle bone disease”•Is actually a group of genetic disorders

caused by defective synthesis of type I collagen.

•Because type I collagen is a major component of extracellular matrix in other parts of the body, there are also numerous extraskeletal manifestations(affecting skin, joints, teeth, eye etc).

•The fundamental abnormality in all forms of OI is too little bone, resulting in extreme fragility.

•Hearing loss and small misshapen teeth are results of this.

10

11

ACHONDROPLASIA DWARFISM•"without cartilage formation."•Is the most common form of dwarfism.•Achondroplasia is caused by a mutation in

fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3).

• In normal development FGFR3 has a negative regulatory effect on bone growth. In achondroplasia, the mutated form of the receptor is constitutively active and this leads to severely shortened bones.

12

13

THANATOPHORIC DWARFISM• Thanatophoric means “ death-loving”• is a severe skeletal disorder characterized by

extremely short limbs and folds of extra (redundant) skin on the arms and legs.

• Other features of this condition include a narrow chest, short ribs, underdeveloped lungs, and an enlarged head with a large forehead and prominent, wide-spaced eyes.

• Infants with thanatophoric dysplasia are usually stillborn or die shortly after birth from respiratory failure; however, a few affected individuals have survived into childhood with extensive medical help.

14

OSTEOPETROSIS•literally "stone bone", also known as

marble bone disease.•Is a group of rare genetic disorders

characterized by defective osteoclast-mediated bone resorption.

15

ACQUIRED DISEASES OF BONE •acquired disorder is a medical condition

which develops post-fetally.• is a non-heritable change in a function or

structure•caused after birth by disease, injury,

accident, deliberate modification, repeated use, disuse, or misuse, or other environmental influences.

16

ACQUIRED

DISEASES OF BONE

• OSTEOPOROSIS• PAGET DISEASE• RICKETS & OSTEOMALACIA

• HYPERPARATHYROIDSM

17

OSTEOPOROSIS•Is an acquired condition characterized by

reduced bone mass, leading to bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture.

18

PAGET DISEASE• Also called as osteitis deformans.• This is unique skeletal disease is characterized by

repetitive episodes of frenzied, regional osteoclastic activity and bone resorption (osteolytic stage) , and finally by an apparent exhaustion of cellular activity (osteoclerotic stage).

• The net effect of this process is an gain in bone mass; however, the newly formed bone is disordered and weak, so the bone become enlarged and misshapen.

• The Paget disease usually presents in mid to late adulthood.

19

RICKETS & OSTEOMALACIA

•Both are manifestation of vitamin D deficiency or its abnormal metabolism.

•Rickets refers to the disorders in the children, in interferes with the deposition of bone in the growth plates.

•Osteomalacia is the adult counterpart, in which bone formed during the remodeling is unmineralized, result in predisposition to fractures.

20

HYPERPARATHYROIDSM

21

FRACTURES•Any discontinuity in bone normal

alignment.

22

OSTEONECROSIS•also known as Avascular necrosis,

Aseptic necrosis and ischemic necrosis.•A disease caused by reduced blood flow to

bones in the joints.

23

OSTEOMYELITIS

•inflammation of bone or bone marrow, usually due to infection.

•subclassified on the basis of the causative organism (pyogenic bacteria or mycobacteria).

24

PYOGENIC OSTEOMYELITIS•Acute osteomyelitis is an inflammation of

bone caused by an infecting organism.•Staphylococcus aureus is the most

common bacterium involved in the infection.

25

TUBERCULOUS OSTEOMYELITIS•Tuberculous osteomyelitis of the bone is

secondary hematogenous spread from a primary source in the lung or GI tract.

•It most commonly occurs in the vertebrae (body) and long bones.

•Tuberculous osteomyelitis involves mainly the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae (known as Pott disease) followed by knee and hip.

MISCELLANEOUS BONE TUMOR

S

• Giant cell tumor• Ewing sarcoma

60

Giant cell tumor•GCT) is a rare, aggressive non-cancerous

(benign) tumor. • It generally occurs in adults between the

ages of 20 and 40 years.• Giant cell tumor of bone is very rarely

seen in children or in adults older than 65 years of age.

61

62

Ewing Sarcoma•Ewing sarcoma a highly malignant

neoplasm predominantly affecting children and adolescents, with decisive male predominance, is representative of the so-called round cell tumors.

• Its precise histogenesis is unknown, but it is generally thought that Ewing sarcoma originates from bone marrow cells.

•Ewing sarcoma is a neurally derived small round cell malignancy very similar to the so-called primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET).

63

•all tumors of the Ewing family are characterized by recurrent chromosomal translocations

lining.• Herniation of synovium through a joint casule or

massive enlargement of a bura can produce a synovial cyst. EXAMPLE: baker cyst that occurs in popliteal fossa.
